Introduction

Steinbach residents are feeling the impact of a Canada Post strike as the much-anticipated 2025 Garbage and Recycling Calendar has been delayed, leaving many without a copy. This hiccup comes just as the city is experiencing rapid population growth, leading to essential changes in collection schedules—especially in the bustling Meadows area.

Impact of the Postal Strike

Eldon Wallman, Steinbach's Solid Waste Manager, has openly acknowledged the disruption caused by this postal glitch, stating, “Canada Post has put a glitch in the system for us.” However, fear not! There are still various ways for residents to access this critical information.

Accessing the 2025 Calendar

Residents can download the 2025 calendar directly from the City of Steinbach’s official website at steinbach.ca. For those who prefer a physical copy, several local grocery and municipal locations, including Sobeys, Superstore, City Hall, the operations building on Millwork Drive, and the landfill office, have copies available for pickup.

Updates in the 2025 Calendar

The new 2025 calendar features important updates relevant to the city’s evolving landscape. Notably, collection days have been adjusted for some neighborhoods to better serve residents’ needs. “Some of those people have changed to a different day,” explains Wallman, informing that residents impacted by these changes received notifications via phone. Wallman added, “Every three or four years, we change the schedule a little bit,” reiterating their commitment to keeping the community informed.

Composting Information

Additionally, the calendar includes clearly marked compost depot dates, so residents know precisely when they can drop off organic materials.
