Follow these four steps to ensure you are using your blue recycling carts properly:
1) Fill it
- Do not bag or stack items. Keep recyclables loose in the cart.
- Put shredded paper in a clear plastic bag that is tied closed.
- Remember:
- Keep cart lids closed.
- Do not let your carts overflow.
- Do not place additional waste beside your cart.
- Make sure material is not packed too tightly and can easily come out of the carts when the collection truck picks it up.
2) Place it
- On collection day, place the carts on even ground on the street or in the back alley before 7 a.m.
- Make sure they do not block traffic.
- Place cart wheels against the curb. In the winter, place your cart with its wheels against the street side of the snow ridge.
- Arrange the cart so the arrows on the lid are pointed toward the centre of the road.
3) Space it
- Leave enough space around your cart so that you can walk around it.
- Leave at least one metre (four feet) of space between other objects such as parked cars, power poles, utility boxes, fences, downspouts and garages.
4) Store it
- Roll your empty cart back in a secure location on your property or against your fence after it has been collected.
