Usable toys

  • Extend the life of this item by reusing, selling, or donating

Reuse plastic products by:

  • Posting on online websites like Facebook Marketplace

Donate to local charities. Contact your preferred charity to confirm what type of donations they are accepting.


Unusable plastic products

  • Put into your black cart

Put old and broken miscellaneous plastic items into your black cart as garbage. Break down larger items and make sure the lid can close.

Why can't this be recycled?

Durable, long-lasting products are not included in the provincial recycling regulations and are not accepted in the blue cart program for recycling.
