The City of Estevan’s annual Operation Clean Sweep is now underway.
City employees were out Monday, picking up garbage from the ditches, streets and sidewalks at the city’s main entrances. Their attention will shift Tuesday to all city-owned properties, including green spaces such as boulevards, medians, parks and natural areas.
Organic waste materials, including twigs, leaves and yard refuse, will be picked up from people’s front yards in north Estevan on Wednesday. The same thing will happen for those in south Estevan the following day.
Branches must be bundled in three-foot lengths. Leaves and yard refuse have to be bagged. All items must be on the front driveway by 8 a.m. on the designated pickup day.
A free landfill weekend for residential waste will be from May 18 to 21. Appliances with Freon and hazardous materials will not be accepted.
