What your program ultimately looks like depends on your own situation. Check with your municipality to see if this is possible and what is required. The garbage collection contractor or other hauler may make special arrangements to pick up recyclables. Your job is to recycle the recyclables. That depends on the program setup in your area.
Recycling needs a market for the materials collected to work.
Different areas of the province may have established different markets for a variety of reasons. Check with your municipality to see what is available. In any case, beverage containers, newspapers, corrugated cardboard and milk cartons can be brought to an Enviro Depot for recycling. Remember though, taking more responsibility for helping the environment isn't just about recycling. It's about practicing the 3 Rs to cut back on the amount of resources we waste.
