More items could go into your recycling starting next Spring.

City Council is voting Monday night on whether to accept plastic containers coded #3 through #7 starting May 2022.

That includes materials like PVC, plastic shopping bags, certain types of food containers, styrofoam, and items that use multiple types of plastic.

If that’s approved, it would help the city align with upcoming changes too the province’s Blue Box Regulations. Starting in July 2024, it will require producers of products and packaging to manage and pay for the recycling of their products.
