Cart Swap Request

*If you have previously submitted a cart exchange request, we have you on our list! Please do not submit another request.

On January 1, 2026, the waste fee on the utility bill will be based on the size of garbage cart. The rate as of January 1, 2026 is set as follows:

• 240 litre - $0.41/day or $149.65/year
• 360 litre - $0.66/day or $240.90/year

This charge includes the costs associated with the collection and processing of the food and yard waste cart (240 litres), the recycling cart (360 litre) and your chosen size of garbage cart.

To request a different size of garbage cart (smaller or larger), add an additional cart to your account or if your cart is not functional due to damage, please contact Service Regina at 306-777-7000 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.

Requests for a smaller garbage cart:

• The current projected timeline for a smaller garbage cart is Fall of 2024
• Wait times to receive your new cart depend on request volumes, weather and cart supply.
• Exchange requests will be accepted year-round; however, Cart exchanges during the winter are subject to weather conditions, which can lead to extended delays.

Requests for a larger garbage cart:
