COVID-19 Response:
Saskatoon Regional Waste Management Centre (Landfill)
Cash transactions are now being accepted, although Credit and Debit are recommended to help reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Waste Collection
Please help protect the health and safety of our staff, recycling partners and the community by reducing the spread of the virus in the following ways:
- Bag your garbage
- Do NOT place loose used tissues and napkins in your bin as they can become wind-blown when the lid opens during collection.
- Do NOT discard used protective gloves or masks on the ground; place these items in a bag and put in your household garbage or black cart/bin.
- Do NOT overfill your carts or leave loose items on the ground
- IF YOU'RE SICK: Place ANY item that has come into contact with your mouth, nose or eyes into the garbage; even items that you normally place into your blue cart/bin (e.g. water/beverage bottles, pop cans, milk/juice cartons, etc.)
- Ensure accessible cart placement to avoid manual handling by the driver and return your cart to your property after collection.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND STAY SAFE!
