News Releases

The City’s Green Cart program, which collects unbagged leaves, grass clippings and yard waste from subscribed residents, will close for the 2015 season on Friday, November 6.

In order to ensure all subscribers have the opportunity to empty their green carts before the end of the season, the City is providing collection to all subscribers from November 2 – 6, regardless of whether there was a green cart pick-up provided in the preceding week. To take advantage of the extra collection, please ensure your green cart is set out at the curb by 7 a.m. on your regular pick-up day. For example, if your last pick up was Tuesday, October 27, have your cart out on Tuesday, November 3 for the final collection.

As this final week of green cart collection follows Halloween, residents are encouraged to dispose of their unbagged Halloween pumpkins in their green cart, as opposed to disposing of them in your regular garbage.

Subscriptions and renewals for the 2016 Green Cart program will open in 2016. Residents who do not intend to re-subscribe in 2016 are asked to call 306-975-2486 or email leavesandgrass@saskatoon.ca to arrange for their green carts to be removed by the City.

A directional closure that was installed at 9th Street and Idylwyld Drive to restrict westbound vehicular usage will be removed during the week of November 8, 2015.

Between November 8 and 12, 2015 the City plans to remove the temporary concrete barriers at 9th Street and Idylwyld Drive and the cul-de-sac signs at the intersection of 9th Street and McPherson Avenue. The stop signs facing north-south at the intersection of 9th Street and McPherson Avenue will also be changed to face east-west on 9th Street.
