Recycling/composting/garbage tip - paper

From the Education Committee – submitted by Belle Auld


Regular paper and paper products (e.g. brochures, catalogues, magazines, phone books and most flyers) go in the Blue cart for recycling.

Laminated (like some of the flyers we get in the mail) or wax covered paper to go in the Black garbage cart.

Coil or spiral bound books

  • please remove the coils/spirals first (these go in the Black cart)

  •  then the paper, including the cover, goes in the Blue recycling cart.

Paper towels, serviettes, paper plates, and paper bags 

  • soiled with food go in the Green composting cart 

  • if they have cleaning products, chemicals or makeup on them, they go in the Black garbage bin

  • clean paper bags go in the Blue cart.
