Back Lane and General Clean-Up Program

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 is a weed-type grass that has proliferated in Martensville in recent years. Residents are reminded 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. 

Waste Reduction Recycling 

In addition to regular recycling collection through Loraas' Blue Bin program, we encourage residents to recycle in order to reduce waste and help prevent potentially hazardous materials from entering landfills and harming ecosystems. Visit this link for information on depot locations that accept recyclable items not included in the Blue Bin program.
