Why Enclosures Matter

Bylaws, aesthetics
& pest control.

The City of Winnipeg requires commercial properties to screen outdoor waste storage from public view. Unscreened dumpsters and bins are not just an eyesore — they attract pests, create odour complaints from neighbours and can result in bylaw enforcement action including fines. A properly built garbage enclosure solves all of these problems while improving the overall appearance and professionalism of your property.

Beyond bylaw compliance, waste enclosures protect your bins from wind damage, prevent illegal dumping by others, and keep waste contained during Winnipeg's notorious spring winds and winter storms. For multi-tenant commercial properties, restaurants, retail plazas and apartment buildings, a well-designed enclosure is an essential piece of site infrastructure that tenants, customers and neighbours all notice.

Materials & Construction

Steel frames built
to last decades.

Every Pete Fixes garbage enclosure starts with a galvanized or powder-coated steel frame anchored to concrete footings. Steel framing provides the structural rigidity needed to support heavy gate panels, resist the impact of waste trucks backing up to the enclosure, and withstand decades of Manitoba weather without warping, rotting or leaning. Our frames are engineered to handle wind loads and the repeated stress of daily gate operation.

For the infill panels, we offer pressure-treated wood, composite lumber, corrugated metal, chain link with privacy slats, and vinyl options. Wood and composite infill deliver a clean, attractive appearance that matches or complements your building's exterior. Corrugated metal panels are virtually maintenance-free and highly impact-resistant. We work with property managers and building owners to select the material combination that balances aesthetics, durability and budget for each specific site.

Gate Options

Swing, slide
& truck-accessible.

The gate is the most critical component of any garbage enclosure because it needs to open wide enough for waste trucks, close securely to contain odours and pests, and hold up to being opened and closed several times a week for years. Pete Fixes builds enclosure gates on heavy-duty steel frames with commercial-grade hinges, self-closing mechanisms and cane bolts that lock gates in both the open and closed positions.

We offer single-swing and double-swing gate configurations for standard dumpster access, as well as slide gate options for tight sites where swing clearance is limited. For enclosures serving front-load waste trucks, we size the gate opening to provide full clearance for the truck arms. All gates include padlock hasps or integrated locking hardware as standard, with options for keyed-alike locks across multiple enclosures on the same property.

  • Single and double swing gate options
  • Slide gates for tight clearance sites
  • Full truck arm clearance openings
  • Commercial-grade self-closing hinges
  • Cane bolts for open and closed locking
  • Padlock hasps and integrated lock hardware

Custom Sizing

Sized exactly for
your waste setup.

No two commercial waste setups are the same. A restaurant with a single 4-yard bin needs a very different enclosure than a retail plaza with three 8-yard dumpsters and a recycling station. Pete Fixes custom-sizes every enclosure to fit your specific bins, site layout and access requirements. We measure your containers, assess the truck approach angle and design an enclosure that provides adequate clearance on all sides for safe bin handling.

For properties with growing waste needs, we can design enclosures with expansion capacity built in. We also handle multi-stream enclosures that separate garbage, recycling and organics into distinct bays with individual access points — increasingly required by Winnipeg's waste diversion goals. Whether you need a compact single-bin screen or a large multi-bay waste management station, every enclosure is engineered for your exact site conditions.

  • Custom dimensions for any bin configuration
  • Single-bin to multi-bay enclosures
  • Recycling and organics stream separation
  • Expansion capacity for future needs
  • Truck approach angle optimization
