Frequently asked questions:
Q: What do I do with glossy paper?
A: You can put glossy paper in the mixed paper recycling bin. Large amounts are difficult for us to process, so call us ahead of time so we can prepare. Contact the operations department at: 780-852-3040
Q: What should I do with pizza boxes or other food boxes?
A: Pizza boxes that are clean and with minimal grease or food scraps can be placed in the cardboard recycling. If there is a lot of grease or food, it needs to go into the garbage.
Q: Where does a cardboard milk container go?
You can bring it to the bottle depot to collect a deposit. Or, you can put it in the mixed beverage container bin at the recycling depot.
Q: Where does a thin cardboard item (like a cereal box) go?
It goes in the cardboard recycling bin, even if it has a glossy coating.
Q: Where does a tetra pack container (like an Almond milk container) go?
If it contained a beverage, you can bring it to the bottle depot to collect a deposit. Or, it goes in the mixed beverage container bin at the recycling depot. If the container held something other than a beverage (for example a tetra pack of vegetable broth), it cannot be recycled and goes in the garbage.
