City of Brandon 2020 Green Cart Program Ending Soon

Brandon, MB The City of Brandon Sanitation Section wishes to inform participants of its Green Cart Program that weekly pick-up for the year will conclude after Friday, November 6th.  Until then, participants are encouraged to have their compost carts placed out for collection no later than 6 a.m. on their scheduled day to ensure timely pick-up. As this time of year is often prone to a cycle of freeze-thaw temperatures, program participants are encouraged to place newspaper/cardboard at the bottom of their Green Cart to ensure materials release easily when being collected. Bagging yard waste in a compostable kraft paper bag is also a great option to ensure organic material does not stick!

Weather-permitting, the City of Brandon Green Cart collection program will start up again in late-spring of 2021. However, Green Cart program participants are encouraged to continue placing all kitchen waste and other accepted organics into their Green Cart during the winter months. 

More information about the voluntary Green Cart Program, including how to order your own Green Cart ahead of the 2021 season, can be found on the City of Brandon website or by calling 204-729-2281.

A reminder for all residents of Brandon that as of November 1st, the Eastview Landfill operates on a winter schedule and is open Monday through Saturday. Detailed hours can be found by visiting https://www.brandon.ca/collection/collection-overview.
