We believe that one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure and with the numerous charities in our city, we implement solutions for your unwanted items. Some garbage will inevitably end up at the dump, but you can trust GoGetter to send your re-usable and gently used items to the right place.
Eco-Friendly Garbage Removal?
At GoGetter we are proud of our eco-friendly garbage removal policy. We believe in the value of reusing and recycling instead of wastefully throwing away items that could have a second life. Here in Winnipeg we have many charities that could use your donated items to improve another person’s life. Unfortunately there might be items that are not recyclable but you can be assured that we make every effort to donate or recycle as much as we can. Read more: Why is recycling important?

Why is Recycling Important?
- Recycling reduces the garbage sent to landfills. Landfills take up valuable space and land. As a Winnipeg community, we want to be making profitable choices about how we use our land instead of filling it up with garbage.
- Recycling reduces pollution from landfill leaching. Chemicals thrown into landfills mix with the chemicals that come from the decomposition of garbage. This pollution can be toxic if it contaminates the groundwater. This is an important reason to recycle batteries, chemicals and paints properly.
- Recycling conserves our valuable natural resources. Manufacturing a brand-new product without using recycled materials can cause natural resources to be depleted. Recycling conserves our natural resources such as oil, metal and water.
- Less garbage in our landfills means less landfill greenhouse gas emissions. Emission from Canadian landfills account for 20% of national methane emissions. As organic waste, such as wood, decomposes in landfills a gas composed primarily of methane is released. Methane is 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its global warming potential.
- Recycling is a step towards preserving our natural resources for future generations. It’s important to consider the value of the planet we inhabit. We want to leave future generations with a healthy place to live. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials, which in turn reduce deforestation, oil drilling, and mining.
