The City’s Compost Depot is set to open in time for spring clean-up. Residents are invited to drop off excess yard waste at no cost. This helps keep yard waste out of the landfill which the City turns into high-quality, nutrient-rich compost and mulch used in Saskatoon’s parks and community gardens.

Residents are also welcome to take part in the Dig-Your-Own program at the Compost Depot, located at Highway 7 and 11th Street where they can self-load up to 1 cubic yard of compost and mulch at no cost, while supplies last. Accessibility will be dictated by site conditions. Compost pick-up will also be available at the Material Recovery Centre (MRC), located at 42 Valley Road. Note: excess yard waste can not be dropped off at the MRC.

The Compost Depot is open 7 days a week, including statutory holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the final vehicles being admitted at 5:50 p.m.

All loads must be covered when transported within City limits to prevent debris from blowing off vehicles (Waste Bylaw #9844).

The Compost Depot does NOT accept:

• Elm wood
• sawdust
• treated and untreated lumber
• building materials
• garbage
• any animal waste
• food waste

Elm wood can be dropped off at the MRC’s Scale & Pay for free. Elm wood must be separated from other materials or regular landfill fees will apply. Learn more about elm wood here and help stop the spread of Dutch elm disease.

Selected food waste may be composted at home and all food waste can be placed in Green Carts.

For more information, please visit saskatoon.ca/compostdepot.
