Information: Confused by the Garbage and Recycling Bins Around the City?


The following bins are usually found every 100 meters or so on city streets:

Blue Bin:
Bagged, general, non-separated garbage

Yellow Bins:
Paper and cardboard

Blue Plastic “Bells”:
Glass, plastic, cans, and tetra-pak recycling

Green and Brown Bins:
Compostable and garden waste (only in some areas)

*Dangerous household waste: Batteries, prescription drugs, toner and inks, and anything else toxic should be taken directly to your nearest “garbage centre.” Your local supermarket or pharmacy may also have a bin for these things.
