Do we need to bag the recyclables before placing them in the cart?

No, please DO NOT BAG or TIE your recyclables before depositing them into the cart. Bagged or tied materials may be left curbside due to the additional expense that debagging requires.

How should I prepare my recyclables for collection?

Flatten all cardboard boxes. Wash and rinse all food and beverage containers. Remove all lids and caps from containers.

Can we place glass, organic material or other material in the carts?

No other materials can be accepted until such time that local recycling processors can efficiently process other recyclable materials. Materials not accepted in our program will not be collected and your cart may not be emptied until the offending materials are removed.

What should we do if we have more recyclables that can fit in the cart?

Extra recyclables should be kept for your next scheduled pickup. Should you regularly have more material than your carts capacity, please contact Loraas Disposal to arrange for an additional cart.

My normal regular pick up falls on a statutory holiday do I still put out my cart?

Loraas Disposal collects on all statutory holidays except New Years Day, Good Friday and Christmas Day. Please check your collection calendar for your scheduled pick up days including holidays.
