The City of Dauphin says people are misusing the residential recycling depot on 1st Avenue SE, across from Credit Union Place, and the Rotary Arena.
If you live outside of Dauphin, you're asked to use the recycling services provided by your municipality.
If you live in Dauphin, household garbage, furniture, appliances, mattresses, or renovation debris are not allowed in the bins. You also can't put any yard waste or black garbage bags in the bins. Do not leave any materials outside of the bins.
You're asked to place accepted materials inside the correct bin and flatten cardboard boxes before placing them in the cardboard bin.
If a bin is full, you can call 204-638-3200 to report it.
When contamination or illegal dumping occurs, recyclable materials may be redirected to the landfill, and additional staff time and equipment are required for cleanup. Taxpayer dollars are diverted to address improper disposal.
The City of Dauphin says if misuse continues, they may be forced to convert the site to a cardboard-only depot or remove the depot entirely.
