Here are some quick facts:

♻️The City of Winnipeg’s own Community Energy and Investment Roadmap calculates the share of current emissions generated by waste at 6% of total emissions. The roadmap identifies waste diversion as a net cost-saving action (–$126/tonne of CO2e) — cheaper than the building retrofits and heat pump conversions that make up the bulk of the city’s $23-billion climate plan.

♻️Winnipeggers already pay to bury food scraps that make up 44% of the waste stream — the Green Cart turns that buried cost into usable compost.
The cost is a gradual phase-in, from $8/year to $96/year by 2030, in l ine with what other Prairie cities already charge for the same service.

♻️Garbage pickup can move to every two weeks once organics collection starts, offsetting much of the new program's cost.

♻️Every tonne of food waste diverted is one less tonne feeding Brady Rd. Landfill’s methane management system that Winnipeg already spent $11 million to build and expand.

♻️In Winnipeg's own pilot, 66% of participants said they'd pay more to keep the program going — after actually using it.

Integrating city-wide composting in Winnipeg is a no-brainer. Where do your municipal candidates stand on making composting part of our city's climate future? 🌱
