Bag it and leave it: North Battleford’s annual fall compost collection starts next week
The City of North Battleford will launch its annual compost and leaf pickup next week, offering residents a free and convenient way to clear their yards before winter.
The collection runs from Monday, Oct. 20 through Monday, Oct. 27, helping divert organic waste from the landfill while city crews prepare for the colder season.
Residents are asked to use transparent plastic or paper yard waste bags containing only leaves, grass clippings, and garden waste. Bags should be placed next to the sidewalk—not on the street— on each neighbourhood’s designated no-parking day.
There’s no limit to how many bags can be set out, but branches or twigs thicker than a pen won’t be accepted. Any bags containing non-compostable materials will be left behind for residents to dispose of properly.
