Cart smart tool: Where does it go?
Where can I get rid of squishy foam inserts?
Blue Recycling Cart
Clean, dry white or colored foam packaging can be placed in your blue recycling cart. Please remove absorbent pads and rinse meat trays before placing blue recycling cart. Learn about Blue Recycling Cart
Recycle Depot
White packaging foam must be separated from all other types of foam. Ensure all packing polystyrene foam is clean with labels and tape removed. Clean, dry white or colored meat trays, egg cartons are accepted separately in the large collection bins at the Recycle Depot. Learn about Recycle Depot
Didn’t find what you're looking for? Try these tips: Use simpler words – Instead of "aluminum foil tray," try just "foil" or "tray", avoid using brand names. Break it up – If your item has multiple parts, search for each part separately. For example, "lawn" and "mower” vs. “lawnmower” Try different spellings – If you're unsure, try alternate spellings (e.g., "yogurt" vs. "yoghurt"). Still can't find it? Submit your item to the Waste and Recycling team using the button below.
The City has created print-at-home resources to support proper sorting of recycling, organics, and garbage. Printed copies can also be picked up at the Recycle Depot or City Hall.
