The City’s curbside yard waste collection season will come to an end this month.

  • Yard waste collection “Area A” will end the week of Friday, November 18, 2016
    Yard waste collection “Area B” will end the week of Friday, November 25, 2016

Residents can find out if their collection day is “Area A” or “Area B” by visiting http://winnipeg.ca/collectioncalendar.

You yard waste must be put in:

  • Any reusable container without a lid (e.g., plastic tubs, old blue boxes, old metal or plastic garbage containers)—containers should not be broken or damaged
  • Cardboard boxes
  • Paper yard waste bags (available at many stores)

Plastic bags are not accepted in the program because they do not break down and will ruin the finished compost.

You can place your yard waste containers to the side of recycling and garbage carts. Make sure to leave an arm’s length between yard waste containers and recycling and garbage carts.
