For more information, including suggested items, giveaway weekend etiquette, and what to do with leftover items, see: winnipeg.ca/giveawayweekend.

This event is open to Winnipeg residents only. Residents must bring their own containers, shovels, and gloves. There is a limit of 100 litres of compost per vehicle (approximately five 19-litre/five-gallon pails) and no trailers are allowed. To promote social distancing, only one vehicle will be allowed per compost pile at a time.
This year’s curbside yard waste collection program will begin the week of May 1 for homes in yard waste collection area “A” and the week of May 8 for homes in yard waste collection area “B”. Residents can also drop off yard waste for free our 4R Winnipeg Depots.
Yard waste is collected at the curb once every two weeks, on the same collection day as recycling and garbage, and will continue until November.
