Waste Sorting Guide
Waste Sorting Sorting waste reduces the amount of trash that ends up in landfills or is incinerated. By recycling materials, we save energy and raw materials needed to manufacture new products. Proper waste sorting can also reduce the costs associated with waste collection and processing.
Communal Waste – Black bins: All waste that cannot be sorted.
Paper – Blue bins: Leaflets, newspapers, magazines, notebooks, office paper, paper packaging, paper bags, and folded or torn cardboard boxes.
Glass – Green bins: Non-returnable glass packaging (beverages), jars, glass shards. Bottles should be empty and free of lids or plastic/metal parts. Labels do not need to be removed.
Plastics & Metals – Yellow bins: PET bottles, clean plastic containers (shampoo, soap, detergents), plastic bags, metal packaging, cans, aluminum foil, and aluminum parts (from yogurt lids, etc.).
