"A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, September 12, 1995 - 11 Region allowing more materials in blue box pick-up Durham Region is adding more fibre to your blue box diet. Mixed household papers and boxboard products have been added to the list of materials which can be recycled through the residential curbside blue box program. Collection of these new materials begins this September and is expected to divert an additional 110 garbage trucks full of paper each year. Mixed Household Papers include items such as: comput- er paper, envelopes, writing paper, magazines, catalogues, paperback books and junk mail such as flyers, coupons, brochures. Boxboard Products are items such as: shoe boxes, toothpaste boxes, laundry detergent boxes, cereal boxes, tissue boxes, paper towel rolls and similar product packaging. The addition of these two material types to the residen- tial curbside blue box program is possible due to two main fac- tors: recent operational improvements at the Region's Recycling Centre and the devel- opment of strong markets for used fibres. To make it easier for Regional residents to partici- pate in this expanded program, the preparation of blue box materials has been revised. Residents participating in the curbside residential blue box program are asked to follow these new directions: Mixed Household Papers *New Material* e place loose in blue box with newspapers Boxboard *New Material* e remove liners and handles e flatten, bundle and tie with corrugated cardboard bundles restricted to the size of the blue box e place in or beside blue box Newspapers, Inserts & Telephone Books e place loose in blue box with mixed household papers Corrugated Cardboard e remove food residue, sty- rofoam packaging and other such contaminants e flatten, bundle and tie with boxboard e bundles restricted to size of blue box e place in or beside blue box Plastic Pop Bottles e clear and green pop bottles only * remove caps and rinse e place loose in blue box Food And Beverage Cans e rinse and place lids inside cans place loose in blue box ~ Glass Bottles And Jars * remove lids and caps and rinse * place loose in blue box In order to keep the program running efficiently, it 1s impor- tant that residents include only "clean" fibre. Clean fibre includes mixed household papers and boxboard products which are not contaminated by food or other materials such as plastic handles or liners, or wax tissues. Contaminants interfere with the recycling process, and lowers the market value of the recyclable materi- al. Durham's current program boasts of an overall contami- nation rate of less than 0.5 per cent, an excellent rate on the collection of about 20,000 tonnes of recyclables per year.
