Some items are difficult and dangerous to recycle through your weekly waste collection services. But most local governments have drop-off points so you can dispose of those items safely.

A is for Avoid. Avoid using single use items. You can reduce your impact on landfill by planning ahead when going shopping, or to your café.

What comes out can go straight back in! Place your food scraps and garden clippings into your FOGO bin, or into your own compost.

R is for Recycling – Sort it right. Keep your recycling simple by remembering…

G is for Gifting! As the saying goes, one person’s trash is another’s treasure.
