Starting January 1, 2025, an important change will take effect regarding the recycling of foam containers in our community. From now on, you will be able to place food trays made of foam directly in your blue recycling bin. This change will make recycling these containers easier and help reduce waste sent to landfills.
However, it is important to note that this change only applies to food trays. Foam used for packaging (e.g., packaging for electronic products, furniture) must still be taken to the ecocenter or disposed of during special collections.
To ease the transition, we will continue to collect food trays during the foam collection scheduled for January 11.
