Even on a relatively small city property, growing one's own food can be hugely rewarding. Nothing will ever taste fresher than just-picked tomatoes, beans, zucchini and salad greens. And what can brighten and warm a yard more than a colourful display of spring or summer flowers?Leaf it with us begins
City of Winnipeg Leaf It Program Opening Friday, April 9th!
Don't trash your yard waste!
Put your yard waste to good use by recycling it. Drop your yard waste off at one of the following "leaf it with us" depots starting April 9. We'll compost it into a reusable soil-like material, which we use to landscape finished landfill areas. Since 1991, Winnipeggers have diverted and composted over 34,000 metric tonnes of organic material from the landfill!
