Waste and Recycling Education Resources

We want you and your neighbours, colleagues and classmates to feel confident about putting the right thing in the right bin. To help, we provide downloadable posters, stickers, signs and guides to put in your home, apartment bin room, business or school.

If you are unsure how to dispose of a certain item, visit this page or download the RecycleMate app.
