Multi-Material Stewardship Manitoba (MMSM)

This year marked 15 years of shared responsibility in Manitoba’s residential recycling. The report reflects the progress made through continued collaboration between producers, Manitoba communities, and residents to reduce waste and support residential recycling across the province.

In 2025, MMSM provided over $18.5 million in funding to participating communities. Together, they recovered over 76 million kg of packaging and paper. Program participation reached an all-time high, with 151 communities registered. Resident participation also remains strong. In our annual survey, 95% of residents reported having access to residential recycling, and 92% reported that they recycle regularly.

MMSM completed another successful season with the Winter Road Project, which supports waste diversion in remote First Nations communities. MMSM coordinated and funded transportation to recover more than 21,000 kg of blue bin materials and over 36,000 kg of commercial cardboard in Bunibonibee Cree Nation, Sayisi Dene First Nation, and Northlands Denesuline First Nation.

The Annual Report also highlights material recovery rates, community outreach and engagement, the 2025 audited financials, and other key program activities.
