REASONS YOUR or BLUE BOX WAS LEFT AT THE CURB Check your garbage and recycling for the ORANGE non-compliance sticker to find one of the following reasons why... Garbage bags exceeding the 20kg (44lb) limit Unacceptable material for collection including hazardous waste, medical waste and bulky items Garbage loosely placed in garbage can and not in bags Furniture of any kind is not accepted Broken glass and sharp objects must be placed in a container/ box - not in garbage bags BLUE BOXES Blue box exceeding the 20kg (44lb) limit Oil or antifreeze containers were found in your blue box Blue boxes are not sorted into separate bins for paper and for containers Cardboard must be broken down to 2 x2 Recycling cardboard can be a little tricky there s a reason why you need to break down, flatten and tie cardboard into bundles. Oversized cardboard can t be collected because it doesn t fit into the collection vehicle s side bucket. Also boxes that are not broken down cost more money to collect as they take up unnecessary space in the truck Recycling trucks don t compact materials like garbage trucks because materials have to be sorted to make them ready for end markets By flattening and bundling your boxes before they go into the truck, we get more materials into the truck to help control costs and recycle more materials 14 JULY 2018 SUN MON TUES WEDNES THURS FRI SATUR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Canada Day 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Street Dance 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Join us on Canada Day for family fun activities and fireworks at dusk at 1 Scotland Street or help support recreation programs in Dutton Dunwich by attending our Annual Street Dance! 401 HWY to 23

DON Ts & PICK UP DO s Don t put broken glass and sharp metal objects in regular garbage. Place in a sealed and clearly labelled cardboard box for garbage collectors. This will contain the glass if it breaks at collection. Don t place needles in the garbage. Contact the local pharmacy for a biohazard container or visit healthunit.com/sharps-disposal OR healthsteward.ca for safe disposal information. These materials will not be collected at curbside: -scrap metal (propane tanks, BBQs, bike frames etc.) -construction & renovation materials (drywall, wood) -appliances (fridges, stoves, microwaves) -electronics (TVs, monitors, computers etc.) -loose garbage, tires, CFL light bulbs and tubes -furniture of any kind Put Your garbage and recycling at the curb by 7AM but no earlier than 6PM the night before. Use plastic garbage bags. Maximum weight for bags and blue bins is 20kg (44lbs). Rinse out containers before putting them in your blue box. Residue left in them can attract animals, bees and wasps posing a health and safety risk to drivers. Break down cardboard to no larger than 2 x2 and tie into bundles if possible. Ensure your recyclables are separated into paper and containers. Don t place garbage bags and blue bins on top of snow banks. Clear an area in the snow or leave them in your driveway to prevent them from falling into the streets 6 NOVEMBER 2018 SUN MON TUES WEDNES THURS FRI SATUR Is your jack-o-lantern still scaring the neighbours?
