Recycling and garbage collection proceeding today as scheduled

Collection slower than normal due to weather conditions

Winnipeg, MB - Recycling and garbage collection contractors are emptying recycling and garbage carts today for residents with Friday as their regularly-scheduled collection day. Collection service was interrupted this week due to the New Year’s Day holiday.

Due to the weather and road conditions (e.g., cold temperature, heavy wind, snow drifting), collection will be slower than normal. In neighbourhoods with manual collection, crews will need to take more frequent breaks and, in some areas, take extra time to pull carts out and over the snow.

Residents are advised to move their carts back onto their property as soon as possible after collection service, so that the carts aren’t in the path of snow clearing equipment.
