Packing tips
Please note that the Community Recycling Depots ONLY accept blue cart items. The 4R Winnipeg Depots accept a wide range of items.
Your 4R Winnipeg Depot experience starts at home. The way you pack your vehicle/trailer can make dropping off your materials easier.
- Pack similar materials together in your vehicle/trailer.
- Pack your vehicle/trailer so the materials you drop off first are easily accessible.
- The materials you pack last will be dropped off first.
Here is the order we recommend you pack materials into your vehicle:
First: | Garbage (available at the Brady 4R Winnipeg Depot only) |
Second: | Scrap metal, lumber, tires, rubble, ceramics, large plastic items |
Third: | Soil, clean fill, tree wood waste, leaf and yard waste, major appliances, bicycles |
Fourth: | Blue cart recyclables |
Last: | Household hazardous waste, paint, electronic waste, batteries, oil products |
You may bring your materials in any of the following vehicles/attachments:
- Cars
- Pickup trucks
- Vans
- Single axle utility trailers (self-dumping trailers must be unloaded manually)
