News Releases

The City’s Compost Depot is set to open in time for spring clean-up. Residents are invited to drop off excess yard waste, including leaves, grass, sod, topsoil, garden refuse, non-elm branches, stumps and tree trimmings, at no cost. This helps keep yard waste out of the Landfill and produces high-quality, nutrient-rich compost and mulch used in Saskatoon’s parks and community gardens.

In addition to dropping off yard waste, residents are welcome to take part in the Dig-Your-Own program at the Compost Depot, located at Highway 7 and 11th Street. Residents can self-load up to 1 cubic yard of compost and mulch at no cost, while supplies last. Accessibility will be dictated by site conditions. The Compost Depot is open 7 days a week, including statutory holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. with the final vehicles being admitted at 5:50 p.m.

All loads must be covered when transported within City limits to prevent debris from blowing off vehicles (Waste Bylaw #9844).

The City Compost Depot does NOT accept elm wood, sawdust, treated and untreated lumber, building materials, garbage, or any animal waste/litter. Food waste is also NOT accepted for drop-off at the compost depots; selected food waste may be composted at home and all food waste can be placed in Green Carts. Excess yard waste is welcomed at the Compost Depot.
