Leaf and yard waste

Please do not drop off your leaf and yard waste at the recycling depots.

Residents can place leaf and yard waste out for collection once every two weeks, from April to November.

Leaf and yard waste can be dropped off at any 4R Winnipeg Depot. Please visit our 4R Winnipeg Depot page to confirm locations and hours of operation.

Tips and suggestions:

• Put your materials into the designated bins.
• You can leave lids on containers, caps on bottles, staples in paper, labels on containers, and windows in envelopes.
• Crush bottles, milk jugs and cartons to leave more room in the bins.
• A quick rinse of food and beverage containers helps prevent bacteria and odours.
