Steinbach's garbage trucks will spend an extra sixty to ninety minutes on the road every Day Four, beginning in the new year.

Eldon Wallman heads the city's Solid Waste Department. As a result of the annexation between Steinbach and Hanover, Wallman says at least sixty additional homes will now receive curbside pickup. Most of those homes are on the northwest side of the city.

"We've gone around that area with our guys and they are quite confident that they just add it to our Day Four and it shouldn't take them very long at all," says Wallman.

Wallman asks any of these new residents not wanting the curbside pickup service, to contact him.

He points out the 2018 garbage and recycling calendar has now hit mailboxes in Steinbach. If you have a mailbox that does not accept fliers or advertisements, you can pick up a calendar at city hall, Superstore or Sobey's.
