RECYCLING TIPS
4R WINNIPEG DEPOTS The 4R Winnipeg Depots are a one-stop-shop for items that are still recyclable, but not in your curbside blue bin or cart. They will also accept household recyclables if your blue cart or blue bin are full.
Save space in your recycling by flattening boxes. If your boxes are too large to fit inside your recycling, break them down into smaller pieces. Toss your recyclables into the bin loosely. Don’t stuff containers inside one another. This allows them to be sorted easily at the Material Recovery Facility.
Ensure your containers and bottles are clean and empty. A quick rinse is always appreciated to get rid of any lingering smells or food residue. Leave lids and labels on your food and beverage containers. Don’t put anything in your blue bin that your community doesn’t accept. Check the Recyclepedia at SimplyRecycle.ca or download the FREE app!
