The City of Saskatoon is proposing the permanent closure of a troublesome recycling depot on the city’s west side.
On Wednesday, city administration recommended closing the Meadowgreen Recycling Depot at 22nd Street and Whitney Avenue after what it called “continuous public safety concerns from illegal dumping, scavenging, nuisance and criminal behaviour.”
The proposal is included in a report that is to go to the Standing Policy Committee on Planning, Development and Community Services on Monday.
In 2017, council issued a plan for the area that included 25 recommendations, developed after more than 90 residents and stakeholders and 50 members of city administration raised concerns about the depot.
