Recycling Right and Keeping Our Community Safe
Recycling is a fantastic way to reduce our environmental impact, and we encourage all residents participating in the program to do so responsibly. Here are a few friendly reminders to ensure our recycling efforts are both effective and safe:
Bin Safety:
- Don’t Put Bins Out the Night Before: To prevent attracting unwanted attention from bin pickers, some of whom may have criminal intent, it’s best to avoid leaving your recycling and refuse bins out overnight.
- Morning of Collection is Key: The ideal practice is to place your bins outside on the morning of collection, just before the truck arrives. This minimizes the time they are left unattended.
Responsible Disposal:
- Think Before You Toss: Not everything can go in your recycling bin! Make sure the items you put out for collection are actually recyclable.
- Woodstock Dump for Other Waste: For items that can’t be recycled or placed in your refuse bin, the Woodstock dump on Beach Road is a convenient option.
