Garbage and Recycling

The City of Portage la Prairie operates a 5-day solid waste collection cycle. Schedules may be viewed on our Collection Schedules Page, obtained at City Hall, or by contacting the Operations Department at (204) 239-8346. Garbage collection is on the front street year round. It is advised that you put your garbage out prior to 7:00 a.m. on your collection day. There is a two bag/can limit on the amount of solid waste that will be picked up from the curb each collection day. Anything over that amount must have a Solid Waste Collection Tag affixed. These tags can be purchased from all corner stores (except 7-11), all grocery stores, MCC, City Hall and the Operations Department.
