City selects neighbourhoods to participate in residential food waste collection pilot

Released: July 2, 2020 at 10:35 a.m.
Participating households will be notified in August

Winnipeg, MB – The City of Winnipeg has selected the five neighbourhoods participating in the residential food waste collection pilot project, which is set to begin in October. An update on the pilot project will be presented to the Standing Policy Committee on Water and Waste, Riverbank Management and the Environment on July 8.

Approximately 4,000 homes from the following neighbourhoods will be selected to participate:

  • Daniel McIntyre (Daniel McIntyre Ward)
  • Inkster Gardens (Point Douglas Ward)
  • Linden Woods (River Heights-Fort Garry Ward)
  • Mission Gardens (Transcona Ward)
  • St. George (St. Vital Ward)

These neighbourhoods were selected because they reflect a diversity of Winnipeggers and types of homes, and how their waste is collected. Only certain households within these areas will have the opportunity to participate in the pilot. In August, selected households will be notified by letter that they have been selected.

Details on how the pilot project will be rolled out will be available later this summer. Public engagement opportunities are planned to start in fall 2020.
