WASTE AND RECYCLING:
The City of Martensville provides one garbage cart and one recycling cart as part of your annual taxes. If you wish to have an additional recycling and/or garbage cart, contact Loraas Disposal. Additional carts are made available through a prepaid annual subscription, with pickup days the same as current municipal schedules.
To order additional carts, residents should contact: Inside Sales Representative Loraas Disposal 306-242-2300
WASTE DISPOSAL REQUIREMENTS
• All waste must be bagged to prevent garbage from blowing out of your bin when being dumped and ending up as litter on the street and on your neighbour’s property. • The bin should be kept completely closed so the wind cannot topple it and spill garbage. and prevent pickup. • If you have more material then will fit, set aside non-perishable material such as yard refuse until the following pickup. • No hazardous materials including gas, explosives, paint, used motor oil, hot ashes, poisons, acids, and caustic substances. • No heavy materials including sod, rocks, concrete, and vehicle parts. • No bulky materials including large boxes, building materials, appliances, furniture, mattresses, or blinds. • No animal carcasses or parts.
RECYCLING GUIDELINES
• Use your blue recycling cart to store and collect approved recyclables • Do not bag or tie your recyclables; place any plastic bags inside another bag and secure • Wheel your cart to curbside on collection day with lid closed to prevent litter or spillage • Place your cart curbside by 7:00am on collection day with wheels against the curb • Return your empty cart to your property at the end of collection day; leave your cart curbside in the event of weather delayed service – the collection vehicle will be through on the first available business day after the severe weather ends. • Do not remove your cart from its assigned address; do not paint or mark your cart. Keep a record of your cart number. How does the “one cart-no sort” program work? Households will receive one 95-gallon blue recycling cart in which all approved household recyclables can be placed. These carts provide lots of capacity and an easy closing lid to prevent windblown litter. No more sorting the recyclables into separate bins or bags. See the list of approved items on www.loraas.ca
Do we need to bag the recyclables before placing them in the cart? No, we specifically ask that customers DO NOT BAG or TIE their recyclables before depositing them into their cart. Bagged or tied materials outside the cart will not be picked up. The exception is plastic grocery bags and clean plastic film. Place these items inside another bag and secure.
How should I prepare my recyclables for collection? Flatten all cardboard boxes. Wash and rinse all beverage containers, food plastics and household tins before depositing to your blue recycling cart. Remove all lids and caps from all containers. Labels do not have to be removed.
I have too much waste and/or recyclable materials. What if I need additional carts? Loraas Disposal will handle all the administration for additional carts (both recycling and garbage). Additional carts are provided on a prepaid annual subscription basis with pickup days the same as current municipal schedules.
