Back to SearchPrince Albert, SK - The City of Prince Albert would like to advise residents that the ban on pruning elm trees has been lifted. The ban was in effect from April 1st, 2023, to August 31st, 2023, in accordance with provincial regulations.
The ban ensures that elm bark beetles, which transmit Dutch elm disease (DED), are not attracted to the pruning cuts when these beetles are most active.
Elm removal can occur at any time of the year. However, the entire tree must be removed, and all waste elm is transported to the nearest approved landfill site in the municipality where the elm was removed. The City’s landfill, located north of Prince Albert, is an approved site in Prince Albert. Please note that there will be a fee for commercial hauling of green waste.
