New trash containers coming to downtown Winnipeg

A garbage can is seen in downtown Winnipeg on August 7, 2025. (CTV News Winnipeg) Winnipeg's mayor wants to clean up downtown – literally. Mayor Scott Gillingham said Thursday a contract has been awarded to install new tamper-proof garbage and recycling receptacles in the neighbourhood. 'They can't be tampered with, they're locked,' he said, 'You can put your trash in or your recycling in, but you can't get anything out. That has to be emptied by crews.' A total of 85 new waste receptacles will replace the current cans, Gillingham said, and he said the new design will help keep trash off city streets. However, he adds Winnipeggers have a part to play in keeping the city clean. 'I think the way our city looks really has a big impact on the way we feel about ourselves,' Gillingham said. 'So I encourage everybody, every property owner, whether it's a private property owner, the city, Winnipeg, the federal government, whoever it may be, I ask you to take care of your property, to clean up. 'If there's garbage on the sidewalk in front of your place, don't wait for someone else to pick it up. Please just take a broom and sweep it up. And the city has to lead the way in doing our part.' Gillingham said the new waste receptacles will be installed in downtown Winnipeg starting in the fall.
