How to Pre-Sort Your Recycling

​Pre-sorting your recycling articles at home, before coming to the depot, will result in a faster
visit, shorter lineups, and big smiles from the staff.

Each of the following categories has a separate bin or bag, and these bins are located at the front of the depot, flowing in the direction from left to right.
Please wash your recycling materials and ensure they are clean. We endeavour to keep our depot sanitary, as well as safe for our volunteers and staff.  Click here for a printable pre-sorting list (no images).
