Yard waste sites will close for the season at the end of the month

Lethbridge’s three yard waste sites will be closing up for the season at the end of this month.

The sites, located along Bridge Drive West, Stafford Drive North and 28 Avenue South, will be closed as of next Saturday (Nov. 30).

The City says 1.89-million kilograms of yard waste has been collected since this spring, which is a big increase of nearly 500-thousand kilograms from 2018. That waste will be composted and used in parks around the city, and for ground remediation at the landfill.

If you still have yard waste to get rid of after the sites close, you can take it to the landfill for composting between Dec. 1 and Mar. 31.

I started my radio career in 2015, shortly after graduating from Lethbridge College. I have a very strong passion for local news. Proudly born in 1994, I grew up most of my life in Sylvan Lake, AB and I've lived in the Lethbridge since 2012. I'm a below average golfer on a good day, I take as many hiking trips to Waterton as possible in the summer and I love my two cats, Outlaw and Jynx, and my dog, Maverick, more than most people I know. I look forward to providing accurate, timely news coverage in southern Alberta for plenty of years to come!
