Yard Care
ll if your lawn seems compacted, or before fertilizing to help nutrients seep into the soil. One of
the best ways to fertilize your lawn and help the environment is to
leave your grass clippings on your lawn. Provide two to three cm of water every seven to ten days
to grow healthy lawns with deep roots. Water in the morning or evening when there is less wind and
heat. Set your lawn mower wheel height at 7.5 cm. Mowing at a higher height promotes vigorous grass
growth with deep root systems, which in turn, discourages weeds and insects. Overgrown Vegetation
on Private Property The Community Standards Bylaw applies to private property and regulates the
maintenance of properties and structures in Regina. Property owners must not allow their property
to become overgrown with grass or vegetation taller than 15 centimetres (6 inches). Intentionally
planted vegetation such as shrubs, perennials or a vegetable garden are not considered a violation,
even if the height exceeds 15cm. Overgrown Grass Complaints Before you make a complaint, consider
if the vegetation is over 15 centimetres (six inches) high or not intentionally planted, such as a
vegetable or perennial garden. If you believe there is a problem with overgrown grass or vegetation
at a property, submit a Service Request online. The complaint will be forwarded to Bylaw
Enforcement and assigned to an officer for investigation. If the officer determines that a property
owner is in violation of the Community Standards Bylaw, the owner will be issued an Order to Comply
requesting that the overgrown grass be cut. Failure to comply with the Order may result in a
violation ticket being issued or the overgrown grass being cut by the City and the costs being
applied to the property owner’s taxes. Weed Control Act The Weed Control Act is a specialized
regime concerned with managing prohibited, noxious and nuisance weeds that may threaten humans,
livestock, crops or the environment. Unlike the Community Standards
Bylaw, the Act is not concerned with aesthetics. Prohibited and noxious weeds are those specific
species considered to be a threat to agriculture, human health, or the environment due to their invasive nature or toxic properties. Nuisance weeds are
those species targeted because of their aggressive behaviour over native species. Regina’s

City Warns of High Levels of Recycling Contamination

said Carolyn Kalim, Director of Waste, Water and Environment. “
Simple sorting habits at home, such as placing recyclables loose in the cart rather than in plastic
bags, can make a big difference.” Contamination in blue carts can tangle up in machinery, slow
operations, and result in recyclables being discarded. SK Recycles, the not-for-profit responsible
