Garbage and Recycling

The City of Prince Albert is reminding residents that Community Clean-Up Week runs from May 11 to 16, 2026, providing an opportunity to clear out unwanted items and help keep neighbourhoods clean. 

The City of Prince Albert wants to remind residents that Yard Waste Collection will resume on May 13, 2026. Yard waste can also be dropped off free of charge at the landfill Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am to 6:15 pm.

The Public Works Department would like to remind residents that weekly garbage collection begins Monday, May 4th, 2026. The blue recycle bins will continue to be picked up bi-weekly.

Heavy snowfall over the past 24 hours has significantly affected travel inside and outside city limits. Crews are nearly finished clearing priority emergency routes and continue to make steady progress to clear bus routes. The duration and volume of snowfall have resulted in delays to transit, garbage, and recycling services.

Please be advised that additional garbage and recycling pickups have been scheduled once again in late December to accommodate the increased volumes of waste generated during the Christmas season.

The City of Prince Albert wishes to advise residents that Yard Waste Collection will end on Thursday, November 13, 2025. Yard waste pick-up occurs on the same day as Recycling on your collection calendar.  

Residents are advised that weekly garbage collection will be discontinued starting in October, and garbage collection will return to the bi-weekly schedule. 

Yard Waste will be picked up the same day as your recycling. Bags must not exceed 25kg (55 pounds).

The Public Works Department would like to remind residents that weekly garbage collection begins Monday, May 5th, 2025. The blue recycle bins will continue to be picked up bi-weekly.
