Cart swaps for smaller black carts begin next week

Nearly 16,000 residents will be welcoming a new smaller black cart to their household this spring. If you requested a smaller black cart before March 1, your new cart will be delivered between April 15 and June 15. The delivery schedule is available online now at saskatoon.ca/cartswap.

Cart swaps will correspond with your regularly scheduled garbage collection day. Make sure to roll out your existing cart on each garbage collection day and leave it out until 6PM during the cart swap window. Existing carts must be left at their collection location (front street or back lane, depending on your address) to be emptied. The smaller cart will not be delivered unless your existing cart is retrieved. 

Some neighbourhoods have more carts being delivered than others and will take up to two collection routes to be completed. Check the schedule to find your swap days.

If you missed out on the first cart swap period, there will be another opportunity to swap your cart in the fall with requests being accepted beginning July 8, 2024.

Visit saskatoon.ca/cartswap for all the details and to see when your neighbourhood is getting swapped. To learn more about the Black Cart program, visit saskatoon.ca/blackcart or call Customer Care at 306-975-2476.
