Residential Recycling Service

The City provides a residential blue box recycling program.  Collection and processing services are provided through a contract with Eastman Recycling Services, www.envisioncl.com.  The curbside blue box collection service operates on a five day cycle and coincides with the City's residential trash collection schedule.

Depots for the collection of recyclable materials are also available at the Steinbach Landfill, 104 Hanover Road E.

Materials acceptable for recycling include:

- newspaper/flyers 
- magazines
- telephone directories
- boxboard
- gable top cartons
- aseptic containers
- steel cans
- aluminum cans
- PET #1
- HDPE #2

- corrugated cardboard

Compostable/organic materials should not be be placed in your blue box.  They can be brought to the landfill for composting.  Please rinse out your containers before placing them in the blue box.

Other materials that can not be recycled in our area are styrofoam, aluminum foil, and plastic bags.

Blue Boxes

Blue boxes are provided by the City and can be delivered to your door or picked up at the Steinbach Landfill at 104 Hanover Road East.  Large curbside blue boxes, as well as the slightly smaller apartment size, are free for the first one and $12 for every additional bin.  Jumbo blue bins (on wheels) cost $95.  For further information, contact Eldon Wallman at (204) 346-6532 or by e-mail at ewallman@steinbach.ca.

Used oil, used oil filters, and used plastic oil containers need to be disposed of properly so they can be recycled into useful products instead of threatening our environment.  Recycle your used oil, free of charge, at the Steinbach Eco Centre, located at the Steinbach Landfill site.  

For more information about the Steinbach Eco-Centre, please e-mail ewallman@steinbach.ca or call (204) 346-6500.

Eco Day is an annual event in June, held to promote the network of Eco Centres and encourage Steinbach and area residents to safely dispose of used oil, used oil filters and containers.  This event is hosted by the Manitoba Association for Resource Recovery Corporation (MARRC).
