Waste Management

Our recyclable materials are sent to a facility that can effectively sort mixed recycling. Using just one box for all of your recyclable items increases the ease and convenience of recycling and allows it to be collected more quickly.

Accepted materials include:

• Glass: clear or coloured jars
• Cardboard: corrugated, box board, boxed beverage containers
• Paper: envelopes, paperbacks, magazines and catalogues, printer and fine paper, newspaper and flyers
• Tin and plastics: food and beverage containers, pop cans, plastic bottles, tubs and lids, plastic clam shell containers. Plastic numbered 1 to 5 and 7.

For more information, please visit Waste Management's Recycle Right website. 

Each improved property that receives waste collection can place two bags, not exceeding 22 kilograms each, per week at the roadside for collection. 

Containers 

Permanent containers must have a visible indicator system (marker/flag/sign) in place to notify the contractor when materials are ready for pick-up. 

Private or unmaintained roadways

If you live on a private or unmaintained roadway, place your waste and recyclable materials at the nearest intersection of a serviced roadway. If you live on a seasonal roadway, place your materials at the nearest intersection of a serviced roadway between October 15 and April 15. 

Visibility

Materials should be placed in a visible location. Make sure they are not hidden behind a vehicle, snow bank or other obstruction.
