Following street sweeping on major roads, City crews move on to pressure washing seven bridges, 47 overpasses and 21 pedestrian crossings on Monday, June 6. Structure washing occurs weekly overnight Monday through Thursday, from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. until the middle of July, barring any unforeseen circumstances and weather permitting.

Ready, Set, Swap! Citywide Curbside Swap happening Saturday, June 4
June 3, 2022 - 3:13am
The Curbside Swap is bigger and better in 2022 and offers two opportunities for Saskatoon’s residents to participate in a citywide treasure hunt and help reduce the number of reusable items that end up in the landfill.
The first event will take place this Saturday, June 4 (8:00 a.m.– 6:00 p.m.) and another event will take place in September at a date to be announced later.
Join the effort in helping to reduce the number of unwanted reusable items that end up in the landfill.
To participate in the Curbside Swap, place your gently used items on your property and mark them as “free” for anyone to take. Residents may also go out in search of items that other residents are giving away.
It is free to sign up for a swap. Visit saskatoon.ca/curbsideswap to sign up and promote your swap using the online listing tool as well as event tools, information on guidelines, and a list of acceptable and non-acceptable items. Common "swappable" items include furniture, electronics, sporting equipment, books, tools, and much more!
For items that are not collected by 6pm, residents are encouraged to visit saskatoon.ca/wastewizard or get the Saskatoon Waste Wizard app to find ways to divert their items from the landfill.
