ith putting it in the Blue Cart and letting the recycling facility figure it out? This behaviour is called ‘wishcycling’. Although it stems from the best intentions, the problem with wishcycling is that it costs you money. Recyclables are mainly sorted by machinery with some hand sorting. The specialized machinery is designed to identify and pull out specific items. The wrong items can damage sorting equipment and prevent the machines from working correctly. More unacceptable items require more staff and time to pull these items off the lines. The contaminants must then be transported to the landfill for disposal. If unacceptable items get past the hand sorters and end up in a bale, it can lower the quality of the recyclables. By recycling right, we can help keep the cost of the program low. Check out the Waste Wizard tool to find out what items are accepted in the Blue Cart. Some items that are recyclable in other programs can’t go into the Blue Cart. Why not? The Curbside Recycling Collection program was designed to handle household paper and packaging. Other programs exist for many other recyclables including electronics, batteries, light bulbs and scrap metal. Check with the Waste Wizard tool to learn about disposal options for items. Why can’t I leave extra recyclables beside my Blue Cart for collection? Recyclables must be placed inside your Blue Cart with the lid closed to keep the items dry. Recyclables tend to be light and may be blown by the wind and create litter. If you have extra recycling, hold on to it until the next collection day, bring any paper or cardboard items to a Big Blue Bin Depot, or try flattening any boxes to make space in your Blue Cart. Why can’t paper disposable cups go in the Blue Cart? While these cups may look like just paper, there is a plastic lining inside. The lining prevents drinks from leaking. Having the plastic and paper fused together means that they cannot be separated and sorted correctly for recycling. When placed in the Blue Cart, paper disposable cups contaminate good recyclables and increase processing costs. Why can’t plastic bags go in the Blue Cart? When recyclables are brought to the sorting facility, plastic bags and other stretchy plastics get tangled in the spinning machinery and wrap around other recyclable materials. This lowers the quality of recyclables and increases processing costs. Check the Waste Wizard tool for other disposal options. What if my waste is collected in bags and not carts? A small number of residents in the city receive manual curbside collection. For recycling, you will receive a year’s supply of clear plastic bags for your recyclables. You can put a maximum of four bags out on your recycling collection day. Please place your recyclables in the same place where you set out your garbage for collection.
