Waste and recycling is collected by Loraas Disposal on an alternating schedule every two weeks.
One garbage cart and one recycling cart is provided as part of your annual property tax.
Additional carts are provided on a pre-paid annual subscription basis. Pick up days remain the same as your current schedule.
Solid Waste can be dropped off at the Northern Landfill, located off Highway 12 (turn east on Lutheran Road). The Landfill is operated by Loraas Disposal.
Each year the City offers a Fall Service that will prevent the accumulation of trash and debris that may 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 accepted and non-accepted materials.
Foxtail Barley (foxtail) has become a more 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. Doing so helps keep Martensville beautiful, healthy, and safe for everyone to enjoy. To learn more about foxtail and how you can do your part to 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.
