News Releases

Due to damage, a section of the lighting at the Lawson Recycling Depot is currently out of service and will remain unavailable for an extended period. For greater visibility and safety, residents are encouraged to visit the depot during daylight hours. Alternatively, residents may visit one of the City’s other Recycling Depots at night where lighting remains available.

The City has three Recycling Depots available for residential use:

• Lawson Heights, located off Primrose Drive
• University Heights, located off Lowe Road
• Lakeview, located on McKercher Drive near the Lakewood Civic Centre

Residents can also drop off household recycling for free at Sort & Go at the Material Recovery Centre (MRC), located at 42 Valley Road. The MRC is open 7 days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will provide updates as they become available regarding the repairs.

The City of Saskatoon is ready to respond to changing road conditions over the next couple of days. Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting snow and gusty winds tonight and tomorrow. 

Should winter conditions develop, 16 sanders and eight plow trucks will prioritize Circle Drive, expressways, bridge decks, ramps and high-traffic intersections to maintain safe travel conditions during the morning commute and throughout the snowfall. De-icing treatments will be ongoing as needed. 

With snow and below-zero temperatures in the forecast, drivers are reminded to adjust their speed, maintain a safe following distance and give road equipment—indicated by blue and amber flashing lights—the space needed to operate safely. 

For more information on winter road maintenance, visit saskatoon.ca/snow. 

The City’s telephone service provider is currently experiencing issues which is resulting in poor call quality and occasional dropped calls on some of our phone lines.

We are working with the service provider to resolve the current issues and we want to thank you for your patience. Please connect with us online at Saskatoon.ca, via email, in-person at Saskatoon City Hall, or via Facebook, X, or Instagram. If you have an urgent matter please contact Service Saskatoon at 306-975-2476.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is advising freezing rain Saturday morning and continuing throughout the day, possibly ending in the early afternoon. City crews are fully prepared to manage the road conditions. 

Roadway crews with 10 Sander units will monitor priority streets, on and off ramps and bridge decks and apply de-icing treatments, starting with Circle Drive and expressways, and will continue to maintain city streets as long as the weather persists. 

With freezing rain, and subzero temperatures in the forecast, road conditions can become dangerous. Drivers are encouraged to adjust to winter conditions, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles. 

Please give road equipment the space they need to operate, signaled by their blue and amber flashing lights.
