The City of Winnipeg is asking for the public’s opinion on how recyclable materials should be collected in the future.
In a series of open houses and an online survey, residents will be asked for their comments on the current blue box program, as well as two new options for recycling collection that the City is exploring:
- Weekly automated collection using 240-litre carts (which hold the contents of 3 to 4 blue boxes)
- Bi-weekly automated collection using 240- or 360-litre carts (which hold the contents of 5 to 6 blue boxes)
Both carts will be on display at the open houses.
