BRANCH PICKUP

April 9th, 2025
8:30am

Branch Pickup Announcement
Branch pickup service will commence on Wednesday, April 9th, weather permitting, and will continue every other Wednesday thereafter. To facilitate collection, branches should be placed in manageable-sized piles for a single maintenance worker to handle easily. Multiple small piles, within reason, are acceptable.
Please note the following guidelines:

Alternative Disposal Option
For property owners with large piles of branches that cannot be removed independently, the town offers the use of its utility trailer. The trailer will be parked in an accessible location for loading, after which staff will dispose of the contents at the Transfer Station.

Additional Information
The town does not pick up grass clippings, yard or garden refuse, whether bagged or unbagged. These materials should not be left in back lanes. Compost piles must remain within property boundaries or be properly disposed of at the Transfer Station. Bags used for transport must be emptied and removed from the station.

TRANSFER STATION SEASON OPENING

April 4th, 2025
1:00pm
4:30pm

The Transfer Station will reopen for the season on Friday, April 4th, and Saturday, April 5th, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., weather permitting.
Following these dates, the station will operate every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. until the season concludes at the end of October.
A transfer station is a facility designed for the temporary storage of solid waste before it is transported to a site for treatment, recycling, recovery, or disposal. These stations can accommodate clean, non-painted, and non-treated wood for storage and burning purposes.
For waste disposal beyond the municipality, the nearest landfill is located in Swift Current.

EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE NUMBER

January 2nd, 2025
8:30am
4:30am

The Town has now gone live with an EMERGENCY Maintenance telephone number.
CALL 639-926-7100

This is only meant for reporting a serious issue; for example, your basement is filling up with water & you haven't the means to shut the water off; the shut-off cannot be located, or the valve has seized making it impossible to shut the water off. This would be considered an emergency for Town staff. Staff would turn the water off at the curb to stop water from running into the house until the situation is resolved.

It is not meant for anyone with sewer issues. You'll need to call a sewer service or a plumber.

Available Town Materials

January 2nd, 2025

The Town office often receives requests for various landscaping materials, but as a municipality, we can only offer what we require for regular town maintenance.

Swift Current also hosts landscape suppliers depending on the product. We'll give a shout-out to Nijo Yard Supplies Plus! 
It's also important to note that a 3-yard maximum of any of the Town supplied materials is allotted per household for a cost, plus delivery at $20/load; be it a loader bucket (holds three yards max) or a skid steer bucket full at a time (carries one-yard max).
