Clean milk containers can also go into recycling. And if you don't think it's worth the effort to clean your recyclables or if you think most of our recycling winds up in landfills, check out this news article. Winnipeg is actually ahead of the game on recycling. https://globalnews.ca/news/5217910/where-does-winnipegs-recycling-end-up/

Thanks for this informative blog on what's recyclable, what's not. Do you know if the tape used to close cardboard boxes need to be removed (such as the tape on Amazon packages or cellophane tape)? Also, some cardboard, typically from China, seems un-recyclable due to the flimsy nature of the cardboard. Is it recyclable or garbage? Thanks for this... Michael

Hi Michael, If you call one of the 4R depots they should be able to tell you but I'd guess the tape should come off. And Michael do you have a block leader on your street and are you still leading the tree bandits? We're trying to find point people to disseminate info about what the WRA's up to via their mailing lists. If you can help with that just PM me on Facebook and let me know! Comments are closed.
