Residents will be able to dispose of their organic refuse during the City of Moose Jaw’s Yard Waste Weekend on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12.
During this two-day collection, the municipality 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 are welcome to 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 municipality 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.
For more information, call city hall at 306-694-4400.
