Recycling guidelines:
- Use clear or blue transparent recycling bags
- Tie or seal bags so materials stay contained
- Rinse containers before recycling
- Labels do not need to be removed
- Place recycling in the same location as garbage collection
- Keep recycling at least one metre (three feet) away from your garbage cart and other obstacles
Residents will receive one complimentary clear recycling bag for their first collection. After that, residents will need to purchase their own clear or blue transparent recycling bags.
