What Goes Where
Many unwanted items can be kept out of our landfills to conserve capacity and benefit our community and environment. Find out which items go where using the search tool below.
Many provincial recycling programs are limited to residential waste and may have size, quantity, labelling or other restrictions. Locations, hours, fees, and accepted items are subject to change. We recommend always checking a drop-off location's website or calling ahead.
