Recycling

Blue and Grey Boxes are collected every week on your regular collection day. Remember to keep your blue and grey items in separate boxes.

5 p.m. is the earliest (the day before collection) that you can put your blue and grey boxes at the curb.

All materials must be at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on your collection day.

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.
