Tips for Setting out your Blue and Grey Box
- Flatten and Tie Cardboard
Large cardboard may be placed next to recycling containers, only if they are flattened and tied to be no larger than 90 cm x 90 cm x 90 cm (3' x 3' x 3'). - Secure all Loose Items
Place materials inside box. Squeeze pop cans, large plastic bottles and beverage cartons to save space. Fill boxboard boxes with other boxboard materials. Stack your Blue/Grey Boxes on top of one another to prevent items from blowing away. Place heavier items on top of loose paper.
- Avoid Plastic Bags
Do not place containers or paper products in plastic grocery bags.
- When Windy, Place Boxes at Curb in Morning, instead of Night before
On windy days, place your recycling boxes out for collection on the morning of your collection day by 7 a.m. instead of the night before. This will help to prevent litter on the streets.
