The City of Saskatoon is excited to announce the success of our new weekly Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) drop-off program. Since its launch in June, we've seen an incredible response, with over 1,000 visits from residents committed to properly disposing of hazardous materials.

HHW is accepted every Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Material Recovery Centre (MRC), located at 42 Valley Road.

As a reminder, this program is seasonal and the last drop-off day of the year will be Wednesday, October 30, 2024.

For added convenience, the City is adding two special weekend drop-off days: Sunday, October 6, and Sunday, October 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the MRC.  

The HHW collection program is designed to make it easier for residents to dispose of items that should not be thrown in regular garbage or recycling bins due to their potential harm to the environment and public health. Accepted items include aerosols, automotive fluids, cleaners, cylinders, light bulbs, yard chemicals, and more. Complete lists of acceptable and unacceptable items are available at saskatoon.ca/hazardouswaste.

The City encourages residents to take advantage of this free service to ensure these materials are handled in an environmentally responsible manner.

Reminders: 

• The program is open to residents with household products only – no commercial loads will be accepted.
• Containers used for transporting HHW may not be returned to participants and those used for transporting gasoline will NOT be returned.
• Please ensure all containers are safely sealed and contents are clearly marked. 
• Batteries are one of the most commonly dropped off items at HHW drop-off days. As a note, they are accepted DAILY for free at Sort & Go at the MRC.  
• To avoid potentially long line-ups and wait times, ask the Waste Wizard at  saskatoon.ca/wastewizard to find other means of recycling and safe disposal.
• There are no public washrooms available at the Material Recovery Centre.

Thank you for helping us put waste in the right place!

Richard St Barbe Baker Afforestation Area (RSBBAA) will be getting enhancements in the 2024 construction season as part of the Natural Areas Program. Enhancements include: 

• Tree planting: approximately 1,800 new trees and shrubs in 5 planting areas
• Trail construction: upgrades of an existing dirt path to a 3-meter-wide crusher dust trail
• 1 new waste bin
• New swing gate

Construction of site enhancements are expected to begin the week of September 23 and last until November 2024. During this period, please note that:

• The trail being improved will be closed during this time. Alternative routes will be available for residents to use during construction; see construction signage on site.  
• Parking will remain available at the southwest off-leash recreation area parking lot and southeast parking lots. 
• We kindly ask residents to refrain from using the parking lot at the northeast entrance of RSBBAA, since this lot is owned by TransGas and must remain available for their infrastructure service vehicles. 
• For the safety of you and your pets, please keep your dogs on-leash when outside the designated Southwest Off-Leash Recreation Area. 

For more information, please visit saskatoon.ca/RSBBAA.

This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Natural Infrastructure Fund.

After hearing feedback from the nearby residents and businesses, the City is proposing changes to the site plan that would be put in place at the provincial government-funded shelter at 210 Pacific Avenue. 

Details of the plan were finalized earlier Friday. Among the proposed measures: 

• Chain-link fence around the former Saskatchewan Transportation Company parcel service building, ensuring no access off Pacific Avenue. 
• Facility access only from Ontario Avenue 
• 7-day per week, extended hour security/support dedicated to the downtown with a proactive priority focus on the vicinity around the proposed shelter. 

Link to site plan. 

Additionally, an integrated operating plan between the Saskatoon Police Service and the Saskatoon Fire Department outlines the essential safety and security support for The Mustard Seed while they would operate the temporary enhanced emergency shelter along with assistance for downtown residents, businesses and community at large.  

There will be coordinated communications and information sharing among The Mustard Seed, Saskatoon Police and the Saskatoon Fire Department to better address emerging concerns and to be pro-active before issues arise.  

The City agreed to find and propose locations that will meet certain criteria and best suit the needs of the community. The Government of Saskatchewan continues to work with the City of Saskatoon as they work to identify a permanent location to accommodate 60 spaces. 

If the proposed temporary site receives the necessary approvals by City Council on Wednesday, September 25, it is anticipated to open as a temporary 30 to 40 bed enhanced emergency shelter in winter 2024.
