Week 1 Challenge - Bagless Recycling

Our recycling carts are BAGLESS. That means you should not put your recycling in bags before adding it to your cart. Loose items only, please! You are always allowed to put extra recycling in clear plastic bags next to your cart, though.

On that note, our drivers are now ripping open those extra recycling bags at the curbside, dumping them in your cart, and then dumping the cart into the truck. The empty bags are then taken to Do Your Part to be recycled with other soft plastic there. During the pandemic, as a safety precaution, drivers were just tossing the full bags into the truck to be ripped open later at the Recycle BC facilities.

We hope this #OneChangePerWeek is an easy one to remember—see you next week!
