Moose Jaw Garbage Schedule Helper: Zone Map, 2025 Calendar, 2026 Update, Pickup Day and Landfill Tips
Use this Moose Jaw garbage schedule guide like a local resident dashboard. The City’s 2025 curbside calendar is useful for historical 2025 pickup dates, but residents should use the latest City of Moose Jaw schedule, zone map, free app or MooseJaw.ca for current pickup. Garbage and recycling are collected on separate zone days, garbage becomes weekly from June 1 through October 31, and recycling remains bi-weekly year-round.

Moose Jaw Pickup Day: Zone Map, Green Garbage Line and Blue Recycling Line
Moose Jaw collection is zone-based. Waste and recycling are collected on separate days according to the collection zone, so a single “Moose Jaw garbage day” answer is not accurate for every address.
Use address search
Start with the official zone map at MooseJaw.ca/maps/waste-collection-zones. The zone decides which calendar dates apply to your home.
Green top line
Garbage dates appear on the green top line in the City calendar. Watch for paired zones such as Zone 1 & 2 or Zone 5 & 6 in the 2025 calendar layout.
Blue bottom line
Recycling dates appear on the blue bottom line and are bi-weekly year-round. Do not assume recycling is the same day as garbage.
Weekly summer garbage
The City reminds residents that waste collection occurs weekly from June 1 through October 31, then returns to bi-weekly outside that period.

City guidance includes examples such as milk cartons, plastic milk jugs, rinsed glass food and beverage containers, and clean tin and aluminum cans.
Keep contamination out
Not accepted examples include plastic wrap, single-use plastic bags, Styrofoam, ceramics, light bulbs, soiled cardboard, hazardous chemical containers, scrap metal, car parts, plastic toys and household garbage.
Bulk recycling option
The City notes bulk recycling bins on the 1100 block of High Street West between the City Complex and Yara Centre for recyclable cardboard and plastic materials.
