The City of Weyburn is reminding residents that landfill hours and garbage pickup transitions to respective winter schedules starting in November.
As of Nov. 1, landfill hours of operation are as follows:
• _Weekdays from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
• _Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
• _Closed on Sundays.
• _Closed on Nov. 11, Dec. 25 and Dec. 26.
Landfill winter hours of operation remain up to March 31, 2021. For more information on gate fees and proper disposal, visit www.weyburn.ca/waste-disposal-ground.
Refuse collection transitions to a bi-weekly pickup calendar starting Nov. 16 and therefore garbage will not be collected the week of Nov. 23.
During the winter schedule, refuse collection returns for a two-week period after Christmas from Dec. 28 to Jan. 8, 2021. Bi-weekly refuse collection will continue until the beginning of April 2021.
Bi-weekly pickup ensures that less waste goes into the landfill and strongly encourages citizens to recycle their paper, plastic and cardboard products. The cut in the cost of operation also means an increase in other services, such as improvements to the landfill.
Residents are encouraged to download the refuse collection calendar and map from the City of Weyburn website to view their pickup schedule and area information. The 2021 calendar will be published by mid-December at www.weyburn.ca/refuse-collection.
