For any waste that is accumulated over the holiday season, please use our app, WasteWise, to ensure your items are going into the proper stream.
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
- Styrofoam: put in your garbage
