Welcome to the Dumpster Diary

  ******

None of the dumpsters, recycling nor trash, should be filled beyond the top of the dumpster itself!


Not everything that is recyclable can be placed in our dumpsters. In particular, no plastic bags or plastic film; nothing that would get caught in a sorting machine.

All boxes should be broken down (flattened).

All recycling should be loose in the bin, not contained inside other recyclables.

Here is the recommended viewing of this site, not necessarily in this order:

Most recent dumpster house sign.

WM Recycle Right Poster to learn the basics. Each picture's caption has a translation in your selected language. Also, the 7Oct Flyer.

Revamp of OTT Recycling to see local illustrations of what constitutes "contamination", for which Waste Management charges us a hefty fee.

Plastic Bag/Film Recycling, Styrofoam to get you started on alternate ways to recycle things that WM does not accept in our dumpster.

Recycling Quiz using our photos to see if you've "got it". 

Note these are all accessible from the navigation bar to the right.
