Comprehensive Integrated Waste Management Strategy Review

The City of Winnipeg (City) is reviewing its plan for managing garbage and recycling. Garbage and recycling in Winnipeg is guided by the Comprehensive Integrated Waste Management Strategy (CIWMS). We are reviewing the targets, programs, services, and timelines in the plan. This review will help us work towards our waste reduction goals and help keep our city clean.

Residential Food Waste Pilot Project

Beginning in October 2020, the City will collect food waste from approximately 4,000 homes across Winnipeg and compost it. This two-year pilot project will help us determine the best way to collect food waste from all homes in Winnipeg and if residents feel this service is valuable.

Biosolids Land Application

We are developing a program to reuse wastewater biosolids on farmland instead of disposing them in the landfill. The program is part of the City’s master plan for sustainable biosolids management. Provincial legislation requires the City’s wastewater biosolids to be beneficially reused.

CSO Master Plan

We are developing a plan to manage the effects of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) on our rivers in an environmentally sound, sustainable and cost-effective manner.

The Future of Brady

We have been operating Brady Road Resource Management under a permit since 1973. Provincial regulations have evolved and landfills in Manitoba are now required to be licensed.

CSO Relief

This program involves installing new sewer pipes in areas of the city with combined sewers to help protect homes from basement flooding…

Biosolids Master Plan

We are developing a Biosolids Master Plan (BMP) that will determine how we will manage our biosolids in an environmentally sound, sustainable and cost-effective manner, while meeting Provincial regulations.

Seine Riverbank Stabilization at the Branch 1 Aqueduct

The project will stabilize the east bank of the Seine River, near the corner of Notre Dame Street and Maisonneuve Street. Stabilizing the bank is necessary to keep the Branch 1 Aqueduct safe and ensure a continued supply of water to Winnipeg residents.
