An additional week of recycling collection will be added in December to help residents clear out the extra packaging that accumulates during the holiday season. This will be collected for three consecutive weeks on your regular collection day starting Dec. 11.Â
Items that can be recycledÂ
Many paper and cardboard items can be added to your curbside collection, including wrapping paper, greeting cards and paper gift bags. Place these items loosely in your recycling cart, flattening boxes and taking care not to stack items together.Â
However, take note that common holiday items such as toys, electronics, Christmas lights, ribbons and bows, and foil wrap are not accepted in your home recycling carts. If you’re not sure how to dispose of an item, try entering the name of your item into the City’s online ‘What Goes Where?’ tool on our Recycling page.
