Cart swaps will be completed April through June corresponding with collection schedules. More information regarding the cart swap process will be made available in the coming months once the first request window closes and the swap process and schedule are finalized.

Thanks for putting waste in the right place, Saskatoon! So far we have received over 12,000 requests for smaller carts.

Winter BYXE Week will take place from February 17th to 25th. Presented by the City of Saskatoon in partnership with Saskatoon Cycles, this city-wide winter cycling celebration invites residents to embrace the cold, save money and pedal for a healthier planet. 

Throughout the week, from February 17th to 25th, the community is encouraged to explore our beautiful city through winter biking. Take part in different activities planned throughout the week, such as the Ice Cycle Slow Roll and scavenger hunt. The highlight of the week is Bike to Work Day on February 22nd— a day to commute with style, share their journey and connect with fellow cyclists. Commuter stations, featuring refreshments and camaraderie, will enhance the experience for participants. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using #BYXE. 

This initiative underscores the joy of winter biking, promoting good health, saving money and contributing to environmental sustainability.
