With garbage collection back to bi-weekly, the City of Moose Jaw is making fall clean up a little easier for residents.

Until the end of the month, the $10 entry fee to the landfill will be waived for anyone entering with a half ton or smaller vehicle, helping people stop the leaves and grass they clean up from overtaking their bins. The City wants to remind everyone that the free landfill program is for general household waste and organic yard clean up material.

The City would also like to remind residents that, in an effort to keep the roads cleared according to City Bylaw #5156, Section 23, tarps are required to secure loads, and those not following the rule will be given a violation.

Trailers and large commercial vehicles will still be weighed and charged during this time.

In previous years the City had the landfill available for free from October 1st to the 14th, but after listening to residents saying there is more yard clean up in the second half of the month, the dates have been changed to run later.

The landfill is open Monday to Saturday from 7 am until 9 pm and Sundays from 10 am until 5 pm.
