Acceptable Items

RECYCLING ST. CLAIR TOWNSHIP

Please ensure that materials are placed at the curb by 7:00 AM and are sorted accordingly. Containers should be placed in one blue box and fibre in another blue box; a separate receptacle; or on top of the containers. The use of a blue box is the most efficient way to assist in the collection and sorting of recycling materials. Clear plastic bags are acceptable as a receptacle if the materials are not co-mingled (cans only, bottles only etc.). Blue Boxes are available for purchase at the Township office.

Thank-you for your continued support of our waste reduction program.
