The Community Recycling Centre provides signage to assist you in recycling successfully. Whether you are organizing your office waste bins or organizing an event, download these today!  These colour coded, labelled, graphic signs make it easy to sort waste quickly and effectively.  They may be printed from this page or you may complete the order form below and pay a small fee for printed, laminated signs through Lighthouse Publishing.  Post them above your bins at eye level and make it easy for people 'to do the right thing'. TIP: Clustering signed bins for each waste stream together makes it more convenient for sorting. 

Offices typically require a bin for recyclables, paper and garbage in the main work area. An organics mini bin may be placed in a lunch room, for access by all. Additional paper bins may be stationed beside photocopiers. TIPS: Reuse paper for scribbling notes.  Confidential papers may be shredded and placed in a clear bag or shopping bag for collection. Plastic windows and staples do not have to be removed from envelopes and papers before placing them for collection.

Colour-coded sorting stations may be borrowed for public and private events.

Each station comes complete with signs similar to those shown below. The sorting stations include compartments for organics, recyclables and garbage.  Make it easy for your guests to sort their waste! To reserve a bin or two, call 543-4277. Medium-sized collapsible bins and higher volume, wheeled bins are available.  Bins must be returned emptied and clean, as they were received.
