Bi-Weekly Collection and Free Yard Waste Weekend Return in October

The City of Moose Jaw advises that bi-weekly waste collection returns in October. Effective Tuesday, October 1, waste collection in each zone will occur every two weeks as per the 2019 Collection schedule issued in February, 2019 and accessible on the home page of www.MooseJaw.ca. Bi-weekly waste collection will be in effect October 1, 2019 through May 31, 2020. Additionally, the City of Moose Jaw advises that the weekend of Saturday, October 19 and Sunday, October 20, 2019 has been designated as “Free Yard Waste Weekend”. During “Yard Waste Weekend”, the City will waive the $10 residential tipping fee at the landfill for residents who want to dispose of organic yard waste such as leaves, grass clippings and pruned branches no larger than one inch in diameter. Residents may transport their organic yard waste in trailers behind their light vehicles; however, dual-axle and commercial trucks are not eligible for the fee waiver. Those disposing of non-organic household waste, construction materials and other items such as furniture, mattresses and appliances, will be subject to regular landfill fees based on material and weight. To increase efficiency, the City of Moose Jaw will create a designated yard waste zone, have staff inspect loads at the entrance and direct vehicles to the appropriate area. The City reminds residents that according to city bylaw No. 5156, Section 23, tarpaulins are required to secure loads and violations will be issued for loads not secured by a tarp. This will keep roads and streets safe and free of debris.
