Telling it like it is makes an impact.
It’s how we keep you informed. How we raise awareness of the right way to sort materials. How we intend to move the needle. That’s what motivates us to pursue new projects.

TikTok! Who's there? Our blue bins.
They're in your garage. Under your sink. In your cupboard. And now, they're in your TikTok feed as well. Discover the stories our blue bins have to tell. And remember what they want:
Containers. Packaging. Printed paper. That's all.
We show up
on your TV
What happens when you put something in the blue bin without checking that it actually goes there? Our first national awareness campaign answers that question. Find out how simple things you do at home can have a big impact on the curbside recycling system. And why only containers, packaging and printed paper go in the bin. That’s it.

A garden hose is a slippery customer
It’s easy for all those coils to get tangled up. Especially in the machines at a sorting centre.

Video 3: One last chance
Mathieu braves remnants of poutine and pickle juice in the final bin before delivering his verdict. Can he correctly guess the owner of each bin?
What goes in the blue bin?
Containers, packaging and printed paper.
That’s it.
Does my bin really have an impact?
The things you put in your bin can have a big impact. Properly sorting materials is important for our curbside recycling system.
