Be recycle ready
- Recyclables placed in blue carts will be collected in the same fashion as the waste program
- Acceptable recyclable items must be placed loose in the blue cart, no bags allowed.
- Place your recycling bins at the curb by 7 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.
