Recycling Guide

Recycling Dos & Don’ts

• DO NOT bag or sort (not required) — simply place materials loose in cart.
• DO rinse containers (ensure food is removed), but labels/lids can be left on.
• DO flatten containers and/or breakdown boxes to maximize room (this will allow up to 200% more items to be placed in the cart).
• DO NOT include organic waste (kitchen or yard, including grass clippings, leaves, etc.)
• DO NOT recycle plastic shopping bags, film, or packaging.
• DO NOT throw in needles - use biohazard containers available at your local pharmacy.
• DO NOT recycle styrofoam, aluminum foil/plates, medical waste, mirrors, light bulbs, etc.
• DO recycle rechargeable and/or cell-phone batteries, BUT at City Hall / Civic Works Complex / Eastview Landfill (www.call2recycle.ca)
• DO NOT include Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) Bulbs; they can be recycled at Brandon Home Hardware.

And remember...

Set out carts ONLY WHEN FULL to save time and energy (especially your own)! Have carts out and in place no later than 6:00 a.m. on your scheduled collection day.
