LETHBRIDGE, AB – Spring has sprung in Lethbridge and the city wants to ensure residents can get their yards ready for the year.

The City of Lethbridge is set to open its three seasonal Yard Waste Sites as of Saturday, April 1, 2023. They will be open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m..

• Bridge Drive West Recycling Station – At the top of Bridge Drive West right before the junction with University Drive West
• Stafford Drive North Recycling Station – At the junction of Stafford Drive North and Scenic Drive North
• South Side Recycling Station – At 29 Avenue South next to the Lethbridge Soccer Complex and Lethbridge Judo Club

The yard waste sites are self-serve, so residents will have to unload their own materials. Residents are asked to put their yard waste in paper bags if possible.

As well, the Waste and Recycling Centre will have expanded hours.
