How many trash & recycling 311 requests Winnipeg residents file each month.

How this category is defined

What counts as trash & recycling: Missed garbage pickups, recycling and composting issues, bulk-item collection, cart maintenance, and household hazardous waste.

In Winnipeg’s raw 311 data, the following 1 service_type are counted as trash & recycling:

  • Garbage & Recycling

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <winnipeg_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Garbage & Recycling'
)

Analyst tip: Austin prefixes everything 'ARR -' (Austin Resource Recovery): 'ARR - Garbage', 'ARR - Recycling', 'ARR - Compost', 'ARR - Bulk', 'ARR - Household Hazardous Waste'. Calgary uses a mix of 'WRS -' (Waste and Recycling Services) and 'GFL -' (the contractor Green For Life). NYC doesn't break sanitation out into its own category in our mapping — expect NYC sanitation requests to appear under 'other' or 'street_cleaning'.
