Back Lane and General Cleanup Program – Starting in September

The City of Martensville’s Fall Lane and General Cleanup program is back this September, giving residents the opportunity to dispose of items that are not accepted during regular garbage pick-ups. Our Public Works department, in collaboration with the Urban Camp, will collect eligible items on specific dates, which are listed below. This program helps reduce the amount of trash and debris left in back lanes, at the City Yard Waste Depot, and in business/contractor dumpsters.

Residents are responsible for ensuring their waste meets the criteria for collection. Any items not collected or not accepted under the guidelines must be properly disposed of through approved means to avoid penalties under the Waste Bylaw. Please note: This program is designed for residential yard cleanup waste only and is not intended for commercial or industrial waste.

2025 Collection Schedule
• Residents that live North of Main Street will have their items picked up the week of September 8th – 12th. All items will need to be out by September 8th – 8:00 AM.
• Residents that live South of Main Street will have their items pick up the week of September 15th – 19th. All items will need to be out by September 15th – 8:00 AM.

Please note that the City will be making one pass only. When can I place items out for collection? All residents with back lanes shall not place any items out in the lane until one week prior to pick-up each year. All residents without back lanes shall not place any items curbside until one day before pickup. Please ensure that the items placed in the lanes and curbside are not restrictive to traffic, and that lanes and curbs do not contain any items that you do not want removed. The City will not be responsible for anything left in the back lanes by residents. Please kindly keep the lane bordering your property maintained to ensure a safe and quick collection.

For a full list of accepted items and additional information on this program, please visit: Martensville.ca > Waste & Recycling.
