The City of Winnipeg Streets Maintenance Division produced approximately 395,000 sandbags in anticipation of the potential flood event anticipated earlier this year. The flood did not reach predicted levels and we currently have a surplus of approximately 374,000 sandbags.
As sandbags that have been exposed to the elements are no longer safe to use for municipal flood protection, we are offering our surplus free to local contractors in an effort to reduce waste and ensure these sandbags are used.
Interested contractors may pick up sandbags at either 960 Thomas or 1539 Waverley.
Streets Maintenance will have a loader available on-site to load sandbags into tandem or larger trucks by appointment only. To book a loader, please contact
