Sorting can be tricky, but every decision counts, and we’re here to help you become a sorting pro.
Green bins are for food scraps and yard waste, and your blue bin is for acceptable household paper, cardboard and container packaging.
Some old and broken household items don’t always have to end up in the black bin, there are a range of programs and services to help divert waste from our landfills and give items a second life.
Together, we can make a big impact and become recycling and composting champions. If you’re unsure where an item belongs, visit calgary.ca/whatgoeswhere to find the Right Bin for the Win!
