Town of Arnprior

Be recycle ready

• Recyclables must be placed at the curbside by 7:30 a.m. (or 9:30 am if in the Downtown core) on the day of collection.
• During winter months, please do not place blue boxes behind, on top, or in the side of snow banks.
• Recyclables must be sorted into the appropriate blue box (Week 1 – plastic, glass, and metal food and beverage containers or Week 2 – paper fibres / cardboard) in order for the contractor to collect the materials.
• The contractor will not collect mixed materials (i.e. Paper & Glass).
• Recyclables must be contained within an approved container, such as the blue boxes provided by the Town, or a container or cardboard box of similar size and shape.
• Garbage cans are not a suitable container for recyclables as it is assumed that they contain garbage.

• All items must be placed loosely in your blue bin. Alternately cardboard may be placed beside your blue box if flattened, stacked, and tied with biodegradable twine.
• Items in bags (with the exception of shredded paper in clear bags) will not be collected. 
• All paper products must be clean and dry.
