Residents of Selkirk, Manitoba will have an opportunity to dispose of large household items and excess waste during the city’s annual spring clean-up week, taking place from May 25 to May 29, 2026.

The City of Selkirk Operations Department, in partnership with Waste Connections Inc., will collect non-hazardous waste directly from curbsides. To participate, residents must place their items at the curb by 8:00 a.m. on their regular garbage day, whether that is Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.

Mattresses will be collected separately by Mother Earth Recycling. There is a limit of four tires per household, and tree branches must be bundled into 3-foot lengths weighing less than 50 pounds, with the trunks facing the street.

Certain items will not be accepted during this curbside collection, including construction and demolition waste, electronic waste, and hazardous materials like paint, used oil, or antifreeze. Additionally, fridges will only be collected if the Freon has been professionally removed and the appliance is tagged accordingly.

Residents who have prohibited materials can take them to the city’s Waste Transfer Station, located on Walker Avenue west of Highway 4, which accepts e-waste and hazardous items year-round at no charge. For further information, the Operations Department can be reached at 739 Sophia Street or by phone at 204-785-4930.
