The recent changes in the recycling marketplace have created a huge impact across the globe, negatively affecting commodity prices and the movement of material to end destinations.
There have been many mentions in the media and across social media sites this past year, detailing the issues currently faced by material recovery facilities and municipal recycling programs.
e.g. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-wish-cycling-canadas-recycling-industry-in-crisis-mode/
In order to continue providing service, it is now necessary to limit the material being placed into bins for recycling. Effective immediately these items will no longer be accepted:
-
Food Containers labelled as #1
-
Film plastic (plastic bags and stretch wrap)
Thank you for your cooperation in making these changes!
