Curbside Tune-ups begin October 19

The District of Squamish, in partnership with Squamish CAN and Recycle BC, is conducting curbside checks to help improve individual organics and recycling. Auditors will visit all Squamish neighbourhoods during the week of October 19.

What you should know:

• Auditors will conduct a brief visual inspection of curbside recycling and organics totes.
• Visible contaminants may be handled.
• All auditors will be wearing identification.
• Residents will receive a Recycling Champion sticker or a notice with tips on what goes where. Residents will also receive a notice on their organics bin with tips on what goes in and what stays out.

What you can do:

• Do not bundle, bag or stack your recyclables.
• Clean and rinse your containers prior to recycling.
• Get tips on proper recycling at squamish.ca/recycling-collection.
• Download the Squamish Curbside Collection app for the Waste Wizard materials look-up tool to know what goes where.
