section for more details. Did you receive a postcard in the mail? Avoid common recycling and
composting mistakes. It’s important to only put acceptable items in your green and blue carts. The
wrong items can reduce the quality of good recyclables and compostables and damage sorting
equipment. Please refer to your mail card to see what items don’t belong in your green or blue
cart. Don’t forget to check the Waste Wizard tool to find out where to put your household waste
items. Simply type in the item into the search box and it will tell you which cart or drop-off
location. Will I receive a fine or ticket? No, the postcards are for educational purposes only and
do not come with any fines or tickets! Waste Wizard Type the name of a waste item and we'll tell
you how to recycle or dispose of it. Sort the right Stuff Remember the following: Keep organics and
recyclables loose in the carts. Don’t bag or stack items. Rinse your recyclable containers. Layer
wet or heavy compost. Don’t let your carts overflow. Composting and recycling are worth the effort
to protect the environment for future generations and extend the life of our Landfill. For more
information about this program, or if you have a broken cart, submit a Service Request. Stretchy
and crinkly plastic belong in the garbage cart. It's important to only put acceptable recycling

Natural Areas
ical function providing habitat for plants, animals, insects, and microbes which are important to
our local ecosystem. They serve a climate function, storing carbon
from the atmosphere in plant roots and stems, and allowing rainwater infiltration to recharge our
groundwater aquifers. Finally, natural areas have an important recreation function, creating
diverse opportunities for walking, running, cycling, skiing and snowshoeing while also supporting
unprogrammed outdoor activities like bird and animal watching and exploration. What kinds of
natural areas does the City maintain? The natural areas that the City maintains fall into four
general categories, each of which is home to a unique variety of plants, animals and insects.
Grassland Areas Typically, a mix of native and non-native grasses, wildflowers and shrubs. These
areas tend to be located along Regina’s creeks and waterways above the top of the bank where the
land is dryer. Wetland / Marsh Areas Typically, a mix of native and non-native grasses, reeds,
cattails and other emergent (growing in the water) plants, along with some wildflowers, trees and
shrubs. These areas are located along Regina’s creeks and waterways between the top of the bank and
the water’s edge, where the land is wetter. ...

Advancing the OCP
eded on select routes. Each year, the City invests in additional sidewalks and pedestrian
connections along transit locations, focusing on important points
that connect the sidewalk network, developing complete neighbourhoods. New on-street bikeways and
multi-use pathways in existing Regina neighbourhoods are added annually, working toward the
sustainable transportation goals set out in the OCP. Goal D3: Transportation “To design
infrastructure that conserves resources and minimizes impacts on the environment” The City
prioritizes environmental sustainability in facility design by focusing on key elements such as,
energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality,
and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their environmental impacts. LEED certification for
Fire Hall #4: LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized
green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or
community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance. In 2013, the City
of Regina received LEED Gold Standard certification for the construction of Fire Station #4.
Achieving LEED certifications requires implementing reduction initiatives such as high-efficiency
heating and cooling, energy efficient lighting, upgrades to doors and windows to improve energy
efficiency, and designing exterior spaces to limit landscaping requirements. While Fire Station #4
is the only building with LEED certification, all new City facilities are built, and all facility
renovations are completed, with the LEED principles in mind. Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
Upgrades: Energy efficiency was one of the main priorities when designing the new WWTP that was
completed in 2018. Electrical consumption has been reduced through more efficient pumping
equipment. Geothermal energy is the primary source of office space heating in the winter, reducing
natural gas usage; and renewable biogas is used to heat the digesters. Transit Fleet Maintenance
Facility: This project involves constructing a new facility that will be attached to the existing
Transit Operations Centre at 333 Winnipeg Street. It will enable the City to deliver expanded
transit services to existing and new neighbourhoods. The facility is being designed and constructed
to contemporary energy, environmental and sustainability standards to improve the working
environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Waste Management Centre: As the City continues to
grow, the number of Solid Waste collection vehicles has grown and is expected to continue to grow.
This will continue to place increased pressure on the existing facilities, already at or beyond
capacity.The new Waste Management Centre blends operational, environmental and energy efficiencies
between the Solid Waste branches by sharing crew spaces, office support areas and vehicle and
equipment storage. McCarthy Boulevard Pumping Station (MBPS) Improvements: The City actively
identifies opportunities to reduce its energy consumption to minimize the water network’s impact on
the environment and to keep residents’ water bills affordable. A large construction project is
finishing in 2020 that will result in increased water pumping capacity added to the MBPS. Although
the work is being done to help eliminate sewer bypasses to Wascana Creek, the City prioritized
reducing energy consumption when selecting and installing pumping equipment. Maple Leaf and Wascana
Pool(s): In 2020 and 2021, construction will occur on the Maple Leaf and Wascana outdoor pools.
Energy efficiency and environmental sustainability are a priority for both. ...
