Recycling  
 

The following list is a reference on how to prepare and in which bin to place your recyclables.
Bins are located behind the Shop Easy store downtown, on the eastside of town at the Rec Plex,
south of the Civic Centre on Semple St., and outside the Recycling Depot on McKenzie Street
(Glass is accepted only at the Shop Easy location.) Seniors may access bins at Golden Acres and
between the Golden Acres hi-Rise and Luther Place.
Cardboard
Please flatten any boxes you may have as much as you can. Box board (i.e. cereal boxes, soap boxes, toilet rolls,
empty tissue boxes) may be placed here.

in the bin. Paint cans with paint in them can be all poured into one & put with regular garbage. The paint cans with
dried paint in them can be recycled.

all lids when possible and place them in the bin also. Please rinse clean all food containers. It is NOT necessary
to remove labels from any plastic containers. All types of plastic bags are acceptable to place in this bin.
