• Place your cart – with the back wheels towards the fence or property, close lid
• Point your cart – the cart lid opens towards the centre of the road or lane. This is because operators hook the front of the cart onto the truck to help them lift and tip it
• Space your cart – leave an arm’s length clearance (one meter or 39 inches) on all sides of each cart (or separate sides of your driveway). This is to allow the collection truck enough room to grab your cart.
• Look up – avoid placing your cart under hydro or telephone wires, basketball hoops, awnings and tree limbs.

• On collection day, the carts should be placed on a flat surface 3 feet from the roadway. In winter, they should be placed on the end of your driveway beyond the reach of the snow plow.
• Carts should be removed from the road within 24 hours of collection and stored on the homeowner’s property. Carts must be stored in a way that they do not interfere with ordinary travel of vehicles or pedestrians.
• In winter: clear snow from the area around and under where you place the cart and clear snow and ice off lids so they will open easily when emptied.

Please let us know by calling our office at 204-482-3300 or emailing us at info@rmofstclements.com with the address and we will contact them.

If carts have a manufacturer’s defect, they are covered under warranty. If the carts have been placed correctly at the road and the contractor or the RM damage the carts, either the contractor or the RM will be responsible for the replacement. Otherwise, the resident is responsible for lost or stolen carts.

• Put your carts out by 7:00 am on your collection day, but no sooner than the night before
• Move your carts back onto your property soon as possible after they are emptied
• Between collections, store your carts in a safe place on your property

In the fall 2016 survey where we asked residents about proposed garbage and recycling pickup, the beaches area (including Grand Marais and Gull Lake) had the lowest interest in having curbside pickup with at least 45% of respondents saying they were “very uninterested” and “somewhat uninterested”. You can view these survey results here. If, at some point, enough residents in these areas express an interest in curbside pickup, Council would likely consider implementing it.

Only if it fits in your garbage cart.

No. Our pickup contractor, Emterra, sometimes uses a split body truck for pickup, which is a truck split down the middle that can accept recycling on one side and garbage on the other. The garbage is taken to Libau landfill and the recycling is taken to the recycling depot in Winnipeg.

1. Place your cart – with the back wheels towards the fence or property, close lid
2. Point your cart – the cart lid opens towards the centre of the road or lane

1. Space your cart – leave on arm’s length clearance (one meter or 39 inches) on all sides of each cart or better yet you can place your carts at the end of your driveway with one on each side, this allows the collection truck enough room to grab your cart.
2. Look up – avoid placing your cart under hydro or telephone wires, basketball hoops, awnings and tree limbs.
3. In Winter – clear snow away from the area around and under where you place your cart.  Do not place carts behind or on top of snowbanks; clear snow and ice off lids so they will open easily when emptied.

Your garbage and/or recycling carts should be out by 7:00 am on your designated pickup day.

Emterra has between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm on the designated pickup day to collect your garbage and/or recycling. It is important to keep in mind that your waste and recycling may not always be picked up at the same time each week as there are a variety of situations that may occur and result in your waste and recycling being picked up at different times, this is why it is best to make sure your carts are out by 7:00 am.

If your waste and recycling is not picked up by 7:00 pm on your designated pickup day, please call or email our office (whether it is after hours and we would then receive it the next day or early the next day) and we can then check into the details as to what happened. It is also important to make sure that only the accepted recycling and garbage items are going into your bins.
