Just before families tear open gifts and prepare feasts for their loved ones, the city of Moose Jaw is sending out a reminder. 

They want residents to know that due to the holidays, the waste and recycling schedules have been altered. There will be no pick up on Christmas Day or on New Year's Day, however the zones that normally receive pick up on those days will have their waste and recycling collected on another day of the week. 

Collection schedules will return to normal beginning January 7, 2018.

Below is the collection schedule provided by the city of Moose Jaw.
