The Tri-Com Recycling Centre in The Pas is preparing to resume operations in early July 2026 following a temporary suspension of services. The facility, which serves the Town of The Pas, Opaskwayak Cree Nation, and the Rural Municipality of Kelsey, is currently undergoing a period of recruitment and preparation to ensure a safe and efficient restart.
According to the Town of The Pas, the centre is a tri-community initiative governed by a board of directors with representatives from all three partner communities. It receives primary funding from the local communities and Multi-Material Stewardship Manitoba Inc., an organization that helps cover up to 80 percent of the net costs for residential recycling systems across the province.
Manager Milan Manu confirmed that the facility is focused on assembling the right team to get operations back up and running. While the centre remains closed, officials from the Rural Municipality of Kelsey advise residents to continue using the local landfill for waste disposal. The landfill is open Tuesday through Saturday, with current summer hours running from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. (closed for lunch from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.).
Residents are reminded that the landfill charges fees based on the weight of items. Users should be aware that improper disposal of recyclables at the waste site may result in triple fees, as noted by the Rural Municipality of Kelsey landfill guidelines.
For more information or updates, residents can reach out to the recycling centre at 204-623-5423, by fax at 204-623-2098, or via email at [email protected].
