SASKATOON — Starting in December, green cart collection in Saskatoon will shift to monthly service for the winter months (December, January, February and March).
This change aligns with direction from City Council received on June 4, 2024.
After the first year of the city-wide green cart program, data indicated lower volumes of collected materials and fewer carts set out during winter due to less seasonal yard waste. The city had also received feedback from residents requesting reduced collection throughout winter, which aligns with this data.
The savings realized from this change in service will be returned to the waste utility stabilization reserve and will be reflected in the green cart utility rates starting in 2026.
Visit saskatoon.ca/collectioncalendar to check your collection dates or download the Saskatoon Waste Wizard app. Green carts will be collected once every four weeks. Please note that updated Collection Calendars will not be available online until Dec. 1.
