The City of Estevan’s annual Operation Clean Sweep clean-up campaign is underway.
Crews are picking up trash at city entrances and outlying areas and city-owned properties on May 10. The following day, they will be covering green spaces such as boulevards, medians, parks and natural areas.
For the third and fourth days, May 12 and 13, crews will be making their way through residential areas, in the north half of the city on May 12 and southside on May 13 to pick up contained organic waste material such as twigs, leaves and yard refuse placed in your front driveway.
Branches must be bundled in three-foot lengths and leaves and yard refuse must be bagged. Items must be on the driveway before 8 a.m. on May 12 for the north and May 13 for the south. The city says call-backs will not be accepted.
To end the week-long event, the City of Estevan landfill will be holding a free landfill weekend from May 14-16. The free landfill applies to the City of Estevan residents and their residential waste only. Commercial waste will still be accepted, but regular tipping fees will apply.
During the free landfill weekend, freon appliances are not included, and hazardous waste material is not accepted, either.
Landfill hours are May 14 from 8 a.m.-8 p.m., and May 15 and 16 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
