Tips & Tricks

DO's

  • You don’t need to sort your bottle and cans
  • If you do want to count, sort and tag - it will save you time at the depot!
  • When gathering containers into plastic bags, please tie all four corners
  • OK to crush cans
  • Separate glass from plastic
  • Make the bag light
  • If you have a large load we can help! Ask for an attendant.

DONT's

  • Don’t make the bag too heavy. They tend to get dragged, and then they break when they are lifted up.
  • Not all containers have deposits (such as for soap, oil or vinegar). Recycle those containers with your city recycling program.
