Collection Tips
- Do not overload your cart.
- Cart lids must be completely closed and carts in an upright position to prevent windblown litter.
- Any material placed outside of your cart including items placed on top of the lid will not be collected and can result in a missed collection.
- Have your cart out and accessible by 7am on your collection day as collection times do vary due to weather, vehicle issues and or traffic. Collection times are between 7AM and 7PM
- Ensure your cart is facing the correct direction with the wheels facing the curb.
- Place your cart so there is at least 1.2 meters (4 feet) of space on all sides between your cart and all obstacles (cars, other carts, fence).
- Place your cart on even surfaces to prevent it from tipping over.
Recycle Specific Guidelines
- Place all recyclable items loose in your cart. Do not bag your items.
- Cutting down all large cardboard and cardboard boxes will help prevent material from jamming during collection.
- Any non recyclable materials such as Styrofoam and plastic bags will not be collected.

Each year the City offers a Fall Service that targets the accumulation of trash and debris that could end up in lanes, the City Yard Waste Depot, or dumped in business or contractor dumpsters. Check the event calendar or resident notice about this year's program, including information on accepted and non-accepted materials.
Foxtail Barley (foxtail) has become prolific weed in recent years and the City of Martensville is reminding residents that it's their responsibility to control all weeds on their property, including foxtail. Weed maintenance helps keep Martensville beautiful, healthy, and safe for everyone to enjoy. To learn more about foxtail and how you can help stop the spread, click here.
In addition the Loraas ‘Blue Bin’ as part of regular recycling collection, we encourage residents to recycle to cut down waste and to prevent potentially hazardous materials from entering landfills and ecosystems. In 2016 we hosted our first Household Hazardous Waste Collection day, providing a collection site for residents to bring materials not meant for the local landfill. Watch for updates regarding future dates for Household Hazardous Waste Collection.
Provided is a link to options and depots for recyclable items that are not accepted as part of the ‘blue bin’ program.
