Spring clean up begins Tuesday, April 18, 2017

City-wide spring clean up begins Tuesday morning, April 18 On Tuesday, April 18, around 7:00 a.m., crews will begin the annual city-wide spring clean up operation, sweeping the entire street network including back lanes over the next five to six weeks. Crews will initially focus on the downtown area, major routes, bridges and overpasses. Avoid a ticket and tow To assist in efficient street cleaning operations, temporary "no parking" signs will be placed on some streets to restrict on-street parking during scheduled cleaning times. Please note that not all streets will be signed during spring clean up. The City will only sign the streets where parked vehicles present a problem to street cleaning. When these signs are in place, motorists are encouraged to find alternate parking during the posted times to avoid being ticketed or towed. Use garbage and yard waste collection Citizens are urged not to rake yard waste material or other debris onto streets as this can plug drains and cause ponding problems as well as increase the risk of basement flooding. Debris should be put out for regular garbage collection. Compostable yard waste material (e.g., grass clippings, leaves) can be placed out for yard waste collection in any reusable containers without a lid, cardboard boxes, or paper yard waste bags. Do your part to keep the City of Winnipeg's spring clean up operation safe and efficient. Slow down and stay back and stay safe from all street, boulevard and sidewalk cleaning equipment. Obey flag persons. Be visible and keep headlights on at all times when travelling. Be alert to changing conditions. Be cautious when approaching street cleaning equipment from behind. Make eye contact with the equipment operator. Do not drive through work areas marked with traffic cones.
