Recycling
The City provides regular residential garbage and recycling collection services to all residents. Curbside collection operates on a five day cycle, Monday through Friday.
Addresses in Steinbach that have residential curbside recycling collection services received a recycling cart in early December 2022.
Household recycling materials can also be dropped off year-round at the Steinbach Landfill during regular hours.

Wood Waste
Used wood from things like furniture and building construction is accepted at the Landfill. A chipping machine is brought in regularly to reduce the wood pile to chips. Due to the various treatments that wood is exposed to, the chipped wood is not suitable for yard mulch, however it is used in active cell construction at the Landfill itself.
