2026 Fall Clean Up - Yard Waste Collection
Fall is coming and the City of Portage la Prairie is once again offering free curbside yard waste collection. This year’s program will start Monday, September 14, 2026, and runs for 6 collection cycles, with the last day of collection on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. Yard waste is to be placed at the curb on your regular collection day no later than 7:00 a.m. There is no limitation on the number of bags that can be placed out for collection, but a weight restriction of 18 kgs or 40 pounds per bag will apply. Yard waste must be placed in clear refuse bags or compostable brown paper bags, which are available at various retail outlets. Colored bags will not be collected.
Yard waste is defined as leaves, grass and garden waste, excluding any tree trimmings.
