The Zero Waste Action team has partnered with the District of Squamish, Recycle BC and Green For Life, to conduct annual curbside checks to help improve organics and recycling collection.

During the tune-ups, auditors visit all Squamish neighbourhoods for brief inspections of both recycling and organics totes.
 

What you should know:

• Auditors conduct a brief visual inspection of curbside recycling and organics totes in all Squamish neighbourhoods

• Visible contaminants may be handled

• All auditors are wearing identification

• Residents receive a Recycling Champion sticker or a notice with tips on what goes where. Residents also receive a notification 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 - a materials look-up tool to know what goes where.
