Watch for your new garbage and recycling carts
We will be delivering new garbage and recycling carts to every single-family home this summer.
Please move the carts to a safe place as soon as possible (e.g., at the side of your house, inside your fence, shed or garage). To find out when carts are being delivered to your neighbourhood, visit winnipeg.ca/waterandwaste or phone 311.
