Are there bins like this on your street? 😧

Make sure to close your cart lids so your recyclables don’t get wet or blow away.

Ensure plastic bags aren't in your recycling bin - not even clear blue bags. The only exception is when recycling shredded paper.

That's right, juice boxes are accepted in your blue bin.

So are other aseptic containers like broth and milk cartons.

Please don't put caps and straws in your blue bin loosely. Put the caps on cartons and push straws inside juice boxes before recycling.

If you order online, you'll end up with some of this packaging. Please recycle and find ways to reuse them. 

The best option is always to reduce what you buy.

How is Winnipeg's recycling sorted?

It takes a large, sophisticated system to sort the Winnipeg area's residential recycling.

We visited GFL's Winnipeg material recovery facility (MRF) a few weeks ago to see how they do it.
