    Collection Schedule

    View your collection schedule your way! Sign up for FREE collection reminders via email, text, phone call or add it to your electronic calendar application. You can also download and print your personalized collection schedule.

    Biweekly Garbage Collection

    The City is moving to biweekly garbage collection from October 31, 2022 to March 30, 2023. Your garbage collection day will remain the same but will be picked up every other week. Weekly garbage collection will resume over the holidays from December 19 to 30, 2022.

    There are some properties that require additional garbage collection service. The City is accommodating by offering an additional garbage cart for an annual fee. The City is focused on waste reduction and encouraging residents to reduce, reuse and recycle to extend the life of our Landfill.

    Report a Missed Collection

    If you had your cart out by 7:30 a.m. on your scheduled collection day, contact Service Regina at 306-777-7000 or submit a service request online within two business days.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Am I able to switch to a larger garbage cart?

    • The 240-litre garbage carts hold approximately four bags of garbage as opposed to six bags in the 360-litre carts.
    • These carts were implemented to acknowledge the amount of waste diverted through recycling and composting.

    Can I get a second garbage cart?

    • If you require an additional garbage cart may request one by calling Service Regina at 306-777-7000 and pay a fee on your utility (water) bill.

    What is the cost of the additional garbage cart?

    • A 360L cart will cost $156.95 per year
    • A 240L cart will cost $116.80 per year

    I have requested an additional cart, how do I place my two garbage carts out for collection?

    • On collection day, place the carts on even ground on the street or in the back alley before 7:30 a.m. Make sure they do not block traffic.
    • Leave enough space around your carts so that you can walk around it. Leave at least one metre (four feet) of space between other objects such as parked cars, power poles, utility boxes, fences, downspouts and garages.

    Cart Placement & Collection Guide

    Step 1:
    Fill It

    Blue Cart Recycling

    • Do not bag or stack items. Keep recyclables loose in the cart.
    • Put shredded paper in a clear plastic bag that is tied closed.

    Brown Garbage Cart

    • Bag or bundle all waste items.
    • Double bag animal waste, dust particles and powdered materials.

    Remember

    • Keep cart lids closed & do not let them overflow.
    • Do not place additional waste beside your cart.
    • Make sure material is not packed too tightly and can easily come out of the carts when the collection truck picks it up.

    Step 2:
    Place It

    On collection day, place the carts on even ground on the street or in the back alley before 7:30 a.m. Make sure they do not block traffic.

    On the front street

    • Place cart wheels against the curb. In the winter, place your cart with its wheels against the street side of the snow ridge.

    In the back lane

    • Place cart wheels at the edge of your back lane with enough space away from your back hedge, garage or fence.
    • Arrange the cart so the arrows on the lid are pointed toward the centre of the road or lane.

    Step 3:
    Space It

    Leave enough space around your cart so that you can easily walk around it. There should be at least one metre (four feet) of space between other objects such as parked cars, power poles, utility boxes, fences, downspouts and garages.

    Step 4:
    Store It

    Roll your empty cart back in a secure location on your property or against your fence after it has been collected.

    Please keep carts from blocking alleys. This helps keep our alleys clean and prevents litter.
