TOWN OF KINDERSLEY: Common Questions in Regards to Snow Removal
Q: Is there a time allowance for clearing my sidewalk?
A: Yes!! Residential walks should be cleared within 48 hours of snowfall and commercial areas within 24 hours.
Q: Can I shovel the snow onto my neighbor’s property?
A: Oh please NO! Snow should not be shoveled onto any property but your own. This includes public roadways, public property and private property.
Q: Can I pile my snow wherever and as high as I want?
A: In most residential areas snow piles are allowed up to 2metres in height and must be 7.5m back from a roadway or adjacent property.
Commercial areas are allowed the same conditions but the piles must be removed within 48 hours. Snow piles within the industrial area must be 7.5m of away from a roadway or adjacent property and MUST not be in public drainage ditches.
Q: Where can excess snow be taken?
A: The Town of Kindersley is providing two public snow disposal sites. The first is east off the new section of Railway Ave E that is behind Walmart and the other is northwest of Western Salvage on Hwy 21. Please proceed to the furthest area from the entrance available when dumping. It is much easier if we fill from back to front and don’t have to maneuver around random snow piles.
Q: Can I use motorized equipment during all hours?
A: Oh dear, your neighbors will be so upset! Remember there is a quiet time in Kindersley, it is between 11pm and 7am. *Please be considerate of others this winter. Adhere to quiet time restrictions and the snow removal guidelines and be neighbourly!*
