Quick Tips on What Goes Where
Please put the following items in your recycling blue bag or apartment blue bin: cardboard, boxes, paper (including non-foil gift wrap), cans, aluminum trays, and plastic and glass containers, bottles and jars.
Edmontonians are avid recyclers, but putting the wrong material in the blue bag/bin can cause worker injuries, damage equipment or even shut down our recycling facility.
Items that should NOT go in a blue bag/bin include:
- Food waste: put in the garbage
- Household hazardous waste: take to an Eco Station
- Small appliances: take to an Eco Station
- E-waste: take to an Eco Station
- Christmas lights and extension cords: take to an Eco Station
