Gogama Recycling Guidelines Starting May 2, 2011

"We all gain from a community recycling program"

A Recycling program will be put in place starting May 2nd, 2011. This initiative will assist greatly in extending the life of our landfill site. To begin the program each household in Gogama will receive a blue plastic recycling bin free of charge, compliments of a grant received from The Venture Centre. As the recycling program grows there may be a need for a second blue recycling bin which can be obtained from S & G Developments by calling Gordon Hotchkiss on Sundays during Garbage Pick-up day or on Wednesdays 2 PM to 5 PM and Sundays 12 PM to 3 PM when waste disposal site is open.

Items to be placed in the blue box:

1) Clear and Coloured Glass Containers:

Example: Glass bottles and jars used for food or drink

Instructions: Rinse containers, labels must be removed, remove any lids and place both

containers and lids in the blue box. Do not include drinking glasses, dishes,

crystal, window glass or light bulbs.

2) Metal Containers and Empty/Dry Paint Cans

Example: Food cans, empty paint cans, coffee cans, shaving cream, hairspray, cooking

sprays, air freshener cans.

Instructions: Rinse cans and push lids down inside. Labels must be removed. Remove paint

can lids and place both the cans and lids in your blue box. Remove plastic lids

and dispose in your household garbage.
