| HOW TO SEPARATE MATERIALS |
 |
| 1 Bag for Paper Products: newspapers and flyers, office paper, glossy magazines. 1 Bag for Refundable Beverage Containers: Jucie boxes/containers, Steel cans, Pop, juice and beer cans, Plastic 2L bottles, Clear and Coloured glass (corona, coke bottles, orange/apple juice, etc), Liquor bottles (glass and plastic). Before placing containers in the blue bag remember to: Rinse them, Remove the caps and straws, Keep labels on, and do not crush them. 1 Bag for Corrugated Cardboard Products: corrugated cardboard is "waffled" between the layers (e.g. appliance boxes) |
| Separating materials into the different bags makes it easier to sort at the recycling depot. Without the support of the recycling depots, the Blue Bag Recycling Program would not be such a success. REMEMBER that by separating materials properly recycling saves your tax dollar by diverting more material from the landfill. Thank you for your understanding in this manner. |

| The following is a list of items that are NOT recyclable: > Boxboard (such as cereal boxes, paper towel rolls, detergent boxes, etc) > Christmas wrap/paper > Styrofoam > Milk Cartons > Household Glass (such as jam jars, pickle jars, etc) > Household Plastics (such as grocery bags, shampoo/vinegar bottles, ice cream/windshield washer containers, etc) |

| Tips for a better Blue Bag: 1. Remove caps from beverage containers. 2. Flatten materials - so they take up less space in the bag. 3. Prevent materials from blowing away - please make sure materials, especially papers will not blow away, keeping the community litter-free. 4. Put your blue bag where it is easy to see - so it does not get missed. |
| We can no longer accept boxboard as part of the Blue Bag Recycling Program. Currently there is no recycling depot that will accept this type of cardboard. Please do not place any bags of boxboard curbside, as they will not be picked up. Boxboard now goes in with your regular garbage. |
