Home Maintenance, Yard Work, House Cleaning
Did You Know . . .

The City of Winnipeg is able and willing to provide special services to seniors living in their own homes who are physically unable to put out their own garbage and recycling.  Here’s how it works . . .

Garbage:  Call the City at 986-5858 and explain your need.  They will send a bylaw constable to tell you about the program and give you an application.  A medical certificate may be required.  If you are eligible for the service, the foreman of the refuse crew will check to see if your home is easily accessible for his crew.

Recycling: The City of Winnipeg has a porch/front door pick up program for individuals who cannot carry out their blue box recycling bin or garbage to the curb. Individuals need to complete a special application, which can be obtained by calling 986-5858.

Snow Removal: There is a provision for the City to make sure that you have a path cleared from the sidewalk in front of your home to the road (in the winter).  You are only eligible for this service if all persons in the household are physically unable to do the work and there are no other options (family, friends, neighbours).  For more information, call the City at 986-7623.
