Initial Curbside Tune-up results are in

Approximately 1,700 recycling and organics totes were inspected during the week of July 29 for the first round of Curbside Tune-Ups across all neighbourhoods in Squamish.

Here are some of the most common items found in recycling totes that should be disposed of elsewhere:

WHAT WE SAW	WHERE IT SHOULD GO
Glass	Refundable bottles can be returned to the beverage store or Encorp Bottle Depot. Please remove the lid and rinse. All other glass can be recycled at Green For Life or the Squamish Landfill. Please remove the lid and rinse.
Other Flexible Plastic	Flexible plastic packaging such as zipper lock pouches, crinkly wrappers and bags, can be brought to the Green For Life Recycle Depot or London Drugs.
Plastic bags and overwrap	Green For Life Recycle Depot or the Squamish Landfill. Please ensure they are bagged within a clear plastic bag when dropped off.
Foam Packaging	Foam packaging such as egg cartons, food containers and trays, can be brought to the Green For Life Recycle Depot or the Squamish Landfill for recycling.
Paper Towels	Compost tote (dirty or clean).

Still unsure of What Goes Where? Download the Squamish Curbside Collection app and enter the name of material using the Waste Wizard look-up tool for a list of local disposal and diversion options.

Hello,
Where is the "Green For Life Recycle Depot"? I did an online search and nothing came up.
Thanks.

  Hi Martine,
  Thanks for pointing this out. Green For Life (GFL), formerly Carney’s Waste Systems, is located at 38950 Queens Way.
  Your search likely generated Carney’s Waste Systems search results and it appears as though their redirect url is broken. We’ve forwarded this on to give them the heads up.
  Hope this is helpful :)

My totes have been damaged by the trucks when picking up my garbage. Lock on garbage no longer works and one wheel is damaged on another tote. Who do I contact to get them replaced?
