Household hazardous waste information

A message from the City of Saskatoon
Don’t treat household hazardous waste like garbage.
 

Household hazardous waste includes corrosive, flammable or poisonous materials like pesticides, automotive oil, aerosols, prescription medicine, batteries and mercury-containing items, to name a few. Putting these materials in your garbage or recycling, or pouring them down your drain, contaminates water and landfills.

For a list of places in Saskatoon that accept household hazardous materials for convenient and safe disposal during business hours, including used oil and related products, medication, loose batteries and more, visit Saskatoon.ca/WasteWizard, SaskWasteReduction.ca or call 306-975-2486.

The City of Saskatoon coordinates regular Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Days for residents to drop off items for free. In 2016, a temporary site is set up at SaskTel Centre parking lot (101 – 3515 Thatcher Avenue) from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on:

Growth Plan Meeting March 14th – 33rd Street Bridge

The City of Saskatoon is hosting a growth plan meeting tomorrow. Please express your opinions about proposals to build another bridge at 33rd Street.

As noted in October 2015, CPCA voted unanimously against the proposed 33rd street bridge. We urge the residents of City Park to stay informed on the project and to make their opinion heard. The proposed plan will direct traffic from the University bridge to the 33rd street bridge, increasing traffic drastically on 33rd street.

Details about the event are posted at the following City of Saskatoon events website.

 

Call for Volunteers

Are you looking to help out in your community?
The City Centre Food Coop is looking for
volunteers to help work the CHEP Community  Fresh Food Markets! The goal of these markets is to improve access to affordable healthy

fruit and vegetables for residents who are under-served by the retail
grocery sector. The Market’s focus is to provide access to low-income  residents, however everyone is welcome! 

Where: Saskatoon Community Service Village Lobby
located at 506 25th Street East. 

What: Responsibilities include helping to sell produce,
stock produce, and possibly set up or take down the  

Market. Volunteers will always work in pairs of two or
more, and can help with Market promotion if they  choose. 

Who: The City Centre Food Coop’s mission is to provide
affordable fresh food to Saskatoon’s city centre and  surrounding neighbourhoods with the long-term goal of  opening a community-owned grocery store in the future. 

The fresh produce is provided by the local food security nonprofit CHEP
Good Food Inc., which works with children, families and communities  to improve access to good food and promote food security.
