The City of Regina is providing new garbage and recycling bins free of charge to households who lost theirs during last week’s windstorm.
Since Thursday, the city has received about 230 service requests for missing blue or brown bins.
The city is asking people to properly search for their bins before requesting a new one.
“The city will provide new carts to households that have missing carts at no charge however, we encourage residents to initially look down their street or alley to find their missing carts,” the city told Global News on Tuesday.

“If their cart cannot be found down their street or alley, residents can contact Service Regina to arrange to have a new cart dropped off.”
The city says crews are out picking up carts that have not been claimed.
“Residents are asked to store carts in a secure location on their property after the carts have been collected,” the city said.
“Residents can print their address on the lid of their cart with a black marker to ensure the same cart is returned to their household.”
