Garbage and Recycling

• Garbage and recycling bins must be put out before 7:30a.m. on your collection day.
• Bins can be put out the day before your collection day any time after 4:00p.m.
• After your bin is emptied, it must be removed and put back on your property before noon the day after your collection day.

Containers must be put out to allow enough space for the mechanical arm on the garbage truck to “reach out” to your container.

Front Street Placement
Blue and green bins should be placed one metre from the curb and at least 2 metres from a parked car.

Rear Lane Placement
Blue and green bins need to be placed one metre away from fences, garages, power poles and overhanging trees.

Extra Garbage and Recycling Bins

• You can rent additional individual roll-out bins for $10/month.
• This is an option for households that produce more garbage or recycling than what a single bin can handle.
• The charge will be added to your water utility bill. Some limitations may apply depending on the amount of room there is on the property.
• To make arrangements please contact the Solutions Hub at 306 953-4884.

• 65 gallon $25 - Holds approximately 200kg of compost
• 200 gallon $30 - Holds approximately 485 kg of compost

The bins are old refurbished garbage and recycling bins that are no longer in use. Bins can be purchased and picked up at the Prince Albert Landfill.

Instructions for your new bin:

1. Dig a hole around the base of the bin
2. Remember that compost needs four things: Green material, brown material, air and water.
3. When the bin is full, you can lift it up and the soil will come out the bottom.

For more tips on composting, please see the The Backyard PA website.
