Our Best Defence Against Litter. Cover Your Garbage.

Yard & Organic Waste Mulching

There’s no need to rake grass clippings or fallen leaves, just mulch them with your mower. The grass clippings and leaves provide nutrients to the soil and help retain moisture requiring less watering and fertilizer for a healthy lawn. Mow and go and spend your extra time doing the things you enjoy!

Yard Waste

From May to November each year, all yard waste placed at the curb for collection must be in paper yard waste bags. Yard waste bags are collected every second week, on the same day as your recycling.

Paper yard waste bags can also be dropped off at the Residential Drop Off at Robin Hood Bay, open Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Backyard Composting

The City of St. John’s, in partnership with the MUN Botanical Garden and MMSB, offers FREE basic introductory sessions about backyard composting.

Sessions are offered in-person (one hour) and the online session is available at any time. Once completed, St. John’s residents can purchase a reduced-price backyard compost tumbler bin.

2024 in-person sessions take place at the MUN Botanical Garden, 306 Mount Scio Road, from 1-2 p.m. on: •

April 13

•

May 11

•

June 8 & 18

•

September 7

Online session is available at: Mun.ca/BotanicalGarden/Learn/Composting Once a course is complete, you will receive a certificate of completion.
