We offer several special events focused on solid waste management and initiatives. The events are in place to educate and encourage correct disposal of different types of wastes. Events range from hazardous waste disposal, to cleaning up the community and more. Watch for all of these events on our Community Calendar.
Spring Clean Up Week
Spring Clean Up Week is May 6-11, 2024 and is open to anyone. Residents, businesses, non-profits and schools within the City can register to clean up parks, green spaces and City gateways/entry points.

Household hazardous waste collection day (HHW day)
Household Hazardous Waste day (HHW day) is an annual event offered to residents of Yorkton. The purpose of this event is to provide residents the opportunity to dispose of their waste safely. All you need is a driver's licence with a Yorkton address to take part.

Repair Café
Repair Café is a community event where residents can bring broken items for repair. In 2019, we partnered with the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council to offer this event in Yorkton for the first time. Repair Cafe is scheduled every year at the end of Waste Reduction Week in Canada.
The Repair Café relies on volunteering professionals or handy persons to repair items. If you would like to volunteer for the upcoming Repair Café, contact the City of Yorkton Environmental Services department at 306-828-2470.
