The City of Mission has a goal to reduce contamination in curbside recycling by 25% by October 2023.
We have identified 5 top contaminants and we are asking for your help to keep them out of our residential recycling.
The top 5 contaminants are:
- Garbage, such as medical gloves, disposable masks, household metal items and Food waste
- Non-packaging plastic products, such as laundry hampers
- Non-packaging multi-material products, such as toys or binders which are made from more than one material.
- Hard and soft cover books
- Household textiles, like clothing or linens
If you are unsure of where an item should go while sorting your material for collection, upload the Recycle Coach App and use either the “what goes where” search or the image search feature to easily confirm if it’s recyclable.
Let’s work together to keep contaminants out of our recycling. Together, we can meet our goal to reduce contamination in recycling by 25% by October 2023!
