The City of Steinbach has announced that as of December 8, 2022, Bristal Hauling will take over residential recycling collection service provision, and subsequently, residents will also see a shift to an automated cart-based system. Addresses that currently have curbside residential waste collection services provided will receive a recycling cart during the week before their new service begins.
“We’re really looking forward to this new service for the residents,” says Eldon Wallman, Solid Waste Manager with the City of Steinbach, “The automated cart-based system is very clean and efficient, and we hopefully won’t see as much recycling blowing around in the community on the windier days because each residence will now have a standardized cart for their use.”
Each recycling cart has a unique registration number and will be assigned to a specific property. If residents move, the cart must stay with the property. Residents are encouraged to take care of their new carts as the costs for broken or damaged or missing carts will be charged to the property due to negligence. Additional carts will be available for a fee of $120 per year. All carts will remain the property of the City of Steinbach.
Other blue boxes and bins, even those previously provided by the City, will no longer be serviced beginning December 8, 2022.
More information regarding the changes to the residential recycling collection program will be mailed to affected residents in late November. The City’s 2023 garbage and recycling collection schedule will be mailed to residents in December. The new service will not affect the current garbage and recycling collection schedule and any potential changes to the schedule will be announced on the City of Steinbach’s website and social media accounts.
The City of Steinbach would like to thank Eastman Recycling Services for providing recycling collection services to the City for the past several years. Any questions regarding the new services can be directed to Bristal Hauling at 204-388-4550 or Eldon Wallman at 204-346-6532.
