🚨 MOST UNWANTED: Dirty Recyclables 🚨![]()
![]()
Think before you toss!![]()
![]()
One of the biggest contaminants in the recycling stream is dirty recyclables. Items placed in your recycling bin should be clean and empty. That means no jars with food still inside, no containers full of leftovers, and no pizza boxes soaked with grease.![]()
![]()
Why does it matter?![]()
![]()
Food and liquid contamination can spread to other recyclables during collection and processing, reducing the quality of the material. In severe cases, contamination can cause an entire bale of recyclables to be rejected by manufacturers, sending valuable recyclable material to the landfill.![]()

Before placing items in your recycling bin:![]()
✅ Empty all food and liquids![]()
✅ Give containers a quick rinse if needed![]()
✅ Recycle only the clean portions of pizza boxes (greasy sections belong in the garbage)![]()

🚛🦺 Phil D. Bin Safety Minute 🦺🚛![]()
![]()
We’re revisiting an important safety reminder about waste and recycling bins being placed on roadways. Recently, particularly in the area of Middlesex Centre, this has become an ongoing issue.![]()
![]()
For the safety of residents, drivers, and other motorists, bins should not be placed on the roadway. Please ensure your bins are positioned properly off the road and in a safe, accessible location for collection.![]()
![]()
If our drivers relocate a bin after collection to a different location than where it was originally placed, this is generally an indication that the bin was not positioned properly for safe collection.![]()
![]()
Thank you for helping keep our communities safe and making collection smoother for everyone! ♻️![]()
