Working Together to Keep Our Neighbourhoods Clean and Safe
Help keep Martensville beautiful, healthy, and safe! The City reminds residents that it’s the responsibility of homeowners to maintain their properties year-round by clearing waste, managing overgrown lawns, controlling weeds, and removing dilapidated structures.
Overgrown vegetation, especially weeds, aren’t just unsightly to look at. The spread of seeds can make future weed control more difficult while overgrown plants can attract nuisance animals like mice, who seek shelter in adjacent garages, sheds, and homes as the weather cools.
Under the Nuisance Abatement Bylaw, it’s everyone’s duty to monitor, control, and report any issues that arise. Let’s work together to keep our city looking its best.
Reducing Foxtail From City Limits
The City of Martensville is responding to reports of foxtail around the city and is taking action to clear it from our parks and fields and is working with property owners on back lanes and residential properties.
Foxtail may appear harmless with its fluffy, cream-coloured seeds, but it can pose a real, even life threatening, danger to our pets. While rare, it can also cause minor issues for people, like getting stuck in clothing or even mild respiratory concerns.
Keep an eye out for foxtail now and into the fall to help us reduce nuisance weeds in the city. For more information and best practices around controlling foxtail, visit Martensville > Waste & Recycling > Back Lane and General Clean-up. \
