Hey folks, Phil D. Bin here with another safety reminder!![]()
When we're out on the route collecting your garbage and recycling, we’re frequently stopping and pulling over to the side of the road. We know you're in a hurry, but before you swing around us to pass, please make sure it’s safe.![]()
![]()
✅ Check for oncoming traffic.![]()
✅ Only pass when you have a clear view and enough space.![]()
✅ Never assume it's safe just because the truck is stopped.![]()
![]()
We've seen too many close calls lately, and your safety (and ours!) is too important to risk. Let's keep everyone safe on the streets. A few extra seconds of caution can make a big difference.![]()

Thanks for looking out—and we’ll keep doing the same!![]()

Most Unwanted: June Edition ![]()
Item: Disposable Coffee Cups ☕![]()
![]()
We get it. You love your morning brew. We do too! But here’s the deal:![]()
👉 Most coffee cups look recyclable- they’re paper, right?![]()
🚫 WRONG. They’re actually lined with plastic to keep liquid from soaking through. That lining makes them non-recyclable in our system.![]()
![]()
💡 What you can do:![]()
✅ Recycle the cardboard sleeve (if clean)![]()
🚮 Toss the cup itself in the garbage![]()
![]()
Spread the word so we can keep our recycling clean and contamination-free. Your blue bin (and our sorting crew) will thank you!![]()

🚫Notice to Residents: Our Wheelie Bins Are Company Property ![]()
![]()
We’ve recently become aware of individuals stealing our wheelie bins from their community and attempting to sell them. Please be advised: our bins are not for sale. They remain the property of the Bluewater Recycling Association and are assigned to specific addresses.![]()
![]()
If a bin is picked up at an address it’s not registered to, our system will flag it immediately, and our team will retrieve it. Buying a stolen bin will not provide service—it will only result in confusion and loss.![]()

Help us keep things running smoothly by reporting suspicious activity and spreading the word. Thank you for your support in keeping our community clean and honest! ♻️![]()
