Be recycle ready

• Place your recycling bins at the curb by 6 a.m. on your regular collection day.

• Flatten and break down cardboard boxes to save space on recycling.
• It is not necessary to remove the paper covering the tin cans.
• Leave lids and caps on containers when they have a recycling symbol; put in the trash does that do not have the recycling symbols accepted in our program.
• Remove plastic handles and metal openings on cardboard boxes. They are not recyclable.
• Do not put plastic bags, nor biodegradable or compostable bags in the blue bins because they could disrupt the recycling process.
• Glass packaging, flexible plastics, white foam polystyrene, and beverage cardboard are not accepted curbside. Please bring to a redemption centre near you.
• Do not leave recyclables outside of the bins. Rain and snow make them unusable.
