Yard Waste is picked up the same day as your recycling pick-up starting the first week of May each year until about mid-November. There is no bag limit per household but no bag can weigh more than 25kg. During peak periods, yard waste may take extra days to collect. Yard Waste is always accepted free of charge at the Prince Albert Landfill.
