Waste Management

 


SEE BELOW FOR GENERAL RECYCLING INFORMATION


PLEASE NOTE that we can now recycle tetra paks (and milk cartons):  Tetra-paks are now allowed to be placed in with the existing co-mingled collection stream. They will be removed on the sorting line in a manner similair to how # 1 & # 2 plastic containers are manually removed


Ministry of the Environment

  • The Ministry of the Environment requires that schools with over 350 students complete a waste audit and a waste plan every year.  You must also have source separation programs for specific wastes (ie. you must be sorting paper in one stream and cans/bottles in another stream)
  • You must comply with Ontario's 3R Regulations

Click on the picture above to find out more about Ontario's 3R regulations and get lots of tips on how to set up a waste audit and how to reduce waste.
