Roadway Safety Reminders

Pothole Alert: Melting snow and ice is a cause of potholes and rutting on roadways. Please drive carefully and approach standing water with caution, as it could conceal potholes. Report road damage to the city using the ‘Request for Service’ feature on our website.

Watch for Pedestrians & Cyclists: With an increase in people out walking and biking in spring, be sure to reduce your driving speed and be vigilant for pedestrians, especially in residential areas.

Collection Bin Reminders and Guidelines

Residents are reminded to return waste and recycle bins to their properties and off the street after bins have been picked up Bins left on the street are potentially subject to damage caused by wind or traffic. Bins left on the street also interfere with local traffic, street parking as well as street sweeping or utility maintenance. Per the local bylaw, any person failing to adhere to the bylaw may be subject to fines.

To ensure your home is not missed on garbage day, please follow the tips provided by Loraas Disposal.

• Have the cart curbside by 7AM on collection day
• Keep the lid closed and ensure garbage does not prevent the lid from closing, do not overfill the cart
• Bag all trash and place inside the cart, bagged or unbagged garbage placed beside, in front, or on top of the cart will not be collected
• Ensure your cart is facing the correct direction with the wheels facing the curb.
• Place your cart so there is at least 1.2 meters (4 feet) of space on all sides between your cart and all obstacles (cars, other carts, fence).
• Place your cart on even surfaces to prevent it from tipping over.

For questions about garbage and recycling collection and schedules, visit Martensville.ca or contact City Hall.

Street Sweeping Season

Street sweeping crews have started their first pass of street cleaning this week. This initial pass aims to remove the bulk of road surface debris that has built up over the winter.

Once the bulk of material removal has been completed, crews will be returning for a more thorough cleaning, which will include residential areas. Please watch for signs and posts in your neighborhood. We ask that vehicles be removed from the streets on your ‘sweep’ day, however, vehicle ticketing and towing will not be enforced.

As a reminder, please keep a safe distance from street sweeping equipment as crews work. For more information about street sweeping, contact City Hall.
