Winnipeg’s curbside yard waste collection will soon end for the season.

On Thursday, the city announced Area A’s yard waste collection will finish the week of Oct. 27 to 31, while Area B’s collection will end the week of Nov. 3 to 7.

Winnipeggers are reminded that they can put their yard waste in a reusable container without a lid, paper yard waste bags or cardboard boxes. Yard waste containers should be placed an arm’s length from recycling and garbage carts.

Yard waste can also be taken to the 4R Winnipeg Depots and should not be raked onto the street.

Winnipeg notes it’s accepting Halloween pumpkins in its yard waste collection program and at food waste drop-off stations; however, candles and decorations need to be removed.

Residents can determine if they are in yard waste collection area A or B online or by calling 311. winnipeg.ca/collectionday
