Dauphin’s Fall Clean-Up begins soon, where city crews will be picking up your compostable materials.

Pick-up starts on Monday, October 5th in the Day 4 garbage and recycling area, and crews will work backwards from that area. This is a one-time pick-up only.

Director of Public Works and Operations, Bill Brenner, clears up some common mistakes people make with their fall clean-up pile.  

“If there is any garbage or anything other than those compostable materials we will not pick up the pile. We do get people who try to put old lumber or those kinds of things in there. That is not permitted. It’s basically grass, leaves, trees and branches, and garden waste. That’s all that can be in the pile or else we will leave it behind.”

Materials are to be placed near your back lane for pick-up. If you don’t have a back lane, place your materials on the boulevard near the curb.

Compost materials can be dropped off at any time at the City Waste Disposal Site northwest of Dauphin.

Agriculture in the Classroom — Manitoba (AITC-M) is getting new funding from federal and provincial levels of government to help them continue teaching students about the vital role of the agriculture industry in Canada.

AITC-M will be receiving $146,600 to help adapt their program to meet the demand for more online and digital resources.

Executive Director of Agriculture in the Classroom Manitoba, Sue Clayton, says the funding from the Canadian Agriculture Partnership will be put to good use.

"We’re looking at an adapted hybrid model of program delivery that will meet the demands for educators so that it can either be delivered in-person, or through virtual classroom settings.”

She adds that a big part of the organization's focus is interactive learning, and they look to keep that intact through the new funding.
