Separate your waste – keep wet (waste) and dry (recyclables) apart
Find out which recyclables are accepted for recycling in your community (a school, drop-off site, buy-back centre or curb-site collection) by the Municipality
Educate your household – post a list of the things that are recycled somewhere visible until you and your family get into the habit
Set up a holding area for your recyclables – it could be a box or clearly marked bins. Once you have collected enough recyclable materials, plan a trip to your nearest drop-off site (saves fuel!!) or support your curbside collection.
Special Notes
Clean the recyclables if heavily soiled e.g. foodstuff
Flatten the plastic bottles, cartons, cardboard boxes and cans to reduce volume
A plastics identification code appears on the product to identify packaging plastics
