News Releases

Beginning March 31, residential green cart organics collection will return to bi-weekly collection. In winter months (December, January, February, March) green cart is reduced to monthly collection following feedback from residents and data from the first year of the city-wide Green Cart program.  

Residents are advised to check their collection dates online at saskatoon.ca/collectioncalendar or by downloading the Saskatoon Waste Wizard app.

The Queen Street intersection at 1st Avenue is closed today for unplanned water main repairs. Detours will be in place guiding motorists around the work zone. This project is expected to take one day to complete, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Saskatoon Transit may be affected by these detours. Transit service alerts and real-time bus information are available on third-party apps like Transit and Google Maps Transit on desktop.
