Did you know?
There is a BIG recycle bin in the dumpster enclosure by the parking lot for oversized cardboard or if blue bins are full. All cardboard must be flattened or it will not be removed.
Shredded paper should be in a clear bag.
Plastic bags should be combined into 1 bag.
All other items for blue bin must be loose (i.e. do not throw your bag of recycling items directly into blue bin).
Plastic numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are accepted in blue bin. No Styrofoam, no chip bags or other crinkly plastic.
All items in blue bin must be clean and empty.
bluplanet will not take items left outside of the bins such as old furniture etc. If you missed the Sunnyhill junk removal container, you can do a Google search to find out who will pick up your unwanted stuff, or you can take it to the dump.
bluplanet charges a fee for each brown compost bag in the dumpster enclosure. You can talk to Grounds Committee if you have a lot of yard waste.
Bluplanet has excellent information sheets on their website.
If your closest dumpster is full, you can take a walk to find another that has more space. Or wait ‘til it’s empty to add your garbage.
