NORTH BATTLEFORD — North Battleford residents can drop off tree branches and alley growth this weekend.
The city is offering a special drop-off day Oct. 19 for branches too large for the annual free compost collection program. The drop-off will be at the Waste Management Facility, located east of the city off Wearing Road. Residents must arrive by 5:45 p.m. to drop off their compost. Only branches 7.62 cm (three inches) in diameter or smaller will be accepted.
Oct. 21 to 28, residents can put leaves, grass clippings and garden waste in see-through or paper yard waste bags to take advantage of the city’s annual free compost collection program. No branches or twigs thicker than a pen are allowed.
Residents can leave unlimited bags on the boulevard for pickup on designated "no on-street parking" days.
