Garbage Pickup Mortlach takes care to be a clean and garbage free village; every Friday morning our large garbage containers, that were rolled to the curbside, are picked up by automated garbage truck. Every spring and fall, a large container is placed by the rink and residents are encouraged to load anything and everything into it (except tires). Leaves and brush can be deposited in the brush pile to the west of the rink. (Please, nothing but tree parts and grass clippings in this pile). Burning is not allowed by residents, anywhere in the village, anytime.   Environment

The Coteau Hills to the south drop to the plains of rich earth used for growing crops and expand northward through sandier land which are used for hay and pasture. Besant Park is located just east of the municipality and is a lovely retreat in the summer and the host of numerous weekend activities then as well. There are two larger industries in or near the RM. Young's Seeds is a large seed cleaning plant on the south side and close to the north is Haukaas Manufacturing which designs and manufacturers agricultural implements.The area is home to whitetail and mule deer, antelope and waterfowl - which attract hunters from all over North America. Elk and moose also pass through the area.   RM of Wheatlands #163 Community Profile: Saskbiz RM of Wheatlands #163 Statistical Profile: Saskbiz
