The RMWB is resuming yard waste collection next week.

They are reminding you that this type of garbage must be put in brown paper bags next to your bins before 7:30 AM on your scheduled day of collection.
Pet waste, food scraps and non-organic matter is not permitted in the bags.
Acceptable materials include:
- Grass clippings
- Leaves
- Flowers
- Weeds
- Culled plants
- Small twigs less than 30 centimeters (12 inches) long
The RM says residents should not include the following materials in their yard waste bags:
- Kitchen food scraps
- Pet waste
- Dirt, rocks and gravel
- Non-organic garden waste such as broken plant pots, plastic sheeting and metal stakes
- Commercial yard waste
- Plastic and compostable bags
Yard waste can also be dropped off for free at the municipal landfill year-round, seven days a week from 8:15 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.
All yard waste dropped at the landfill must also be in brown paper bags and be under 50 pounds per bag in order to be free.
