The City of Winnipeg will be selling compost bins this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at various locations throughout the city. The Earth Machine is valued at $100, but will be available for $30, taxes included, during this annual one-day sale. Also on sale will be 208 litre rain barrels for $50, taxes included.
Rain or shine, you can pick up a bin at:
- St. James Civic Centre (2055 Ness Avenue at Woodlawn Street)
- Kildonan Place Shopping Centre (1555 Regent Avenue West, South Parking Lot)
- St. Vital Centennial Arena (580 St. Anne’s Road at Meadowood Drive)
Cash and cheques only will be accepted — cheques should be made payable to Norseman Plastics. All sales are final — no refunds.

Each compost bin can prevent up to 100 kilograms of organic waste from going to the landfill each year. Organic materials produce methane gas in landfills contributing to climate change.
