Electronic Automotive Health & Garden Household Take It Back! Product Stewardship Program and 3 R’s Community Directory The 9th edition of the County of Dufferin’s Take It Back! Directory is here… Lets face it; we all generate waste. Currently, we are helping to reduce, reuse and recycle many of our unwanted items. However, there are still materials thrown into our garbage bags that go to landfill sites. In fact, in Ontario we send approximately ten million tonnes of waste to landfills each year. Municipal governments currently handle the majority of residential collection including large items, waste and recycling. On January 1 2013, the County of Dufferin will assume the authority of all curbside waste management programs. With programs such as recycling, blue box green bin and yard waste composting, household hazardous waste and electronic goods recycling, we are doing what we can to divert waste from landfills. However, there are still many products out there that cannot be handled through municipal diversion programs. This terrific reference guide can help you to further reduce your household waste. It lists retailers, vendors, and organizations that ‘take back’, used products and materials. Returned products and materials are reused, recycled or disposed of properly. Charitable and community organizations that accept products for reuse and recycling are also listed. Finally, check out the Directory’s other informative sections. Learn how to reduce your household waste, participate in the DUFFERIN COMPOSTS! Green Bin Program and find helpful information about Household Hazardous Waste and Electronic goods Recycling Event Days.

Reducing the amount of waste you produce in the first place can help to conserve resources and protect the environment. Practice Smart Shopping ' Choose products with the least amount of packaging. ' Buy in bulk for commonly used items. ' Avoid purchasing disposable products. ' Consider purchasing used goods before purchasing new. ' Buy products made from recyclable materials. ' Avoid waste and spoilage by not purchasing more than is needed. ' Choose products sold in refillable or recyclable containers. ' Bring your own reusable cloth bags. ' www.Freecycle.org -receive and share reusable items. Reduce Waste at Home Use cloth towels instead of paper towels. Recycle and compost! Pack lunches and dinners in reusable containers, not plastic bags. Donate reusable clothing and household goods to local charities. Charitable options can be found throughout the Take It Back directory. Use reusable cloth or gift bags instead of wrapping paper. If you do use wrapping paper, make sure it is nonfoil wrapping paper as that is not recyclable. Use rechargeable batteries. Avoid disposable plates and utensils for get-togethers. Tips to Become Environmentally Friendly Turn the lights off when you leave a room. Turn the tap off when brushing your teeth or washing your face. On average 11 liters of water can be saved if you do. Carpool or use public transit when possible. Use a low flow shower head and toilet if possible. You will save water and money on your water bill. Canadian drivers idle their cars on average of 5 to 10 minutes a day. Turn off your ignition if idling for more than 10 seconds (after this time restarting the car uses less fuel than idling), avoid using drive-thrus, and don’t start the ignition until you and any passengers are ready to go. 19 WARNING: Dropping off items outside of business hours is illegal Garden and will deter businesses from participating in this program.

ALL food waste, including: Leftovers, plate scrapings Bones, meat and fish Cereal Coffee grounds, filters and tea bags Cooking oils, grease and fat Nuts, fruits and vegetables Sauces Baked goods, flour, grains, pasta and rice Dairy products, eggs/eggshells To avoid co to remo ntamination, b e ve any packagin sure food or g from other o rganics placing th before em into the bin. Soiled paper products and other household organics: Facial tissues Greasy pizza boxes Microwave popcorn bags Paper plates, towels and napkins Hair, pet fur House plants (soil removed), flowers Sawdust, wood chips/shavings Yard waste (you may "top up" your green bin with yard waste - no extra containers allowed. If available, use your municipality's yard waste program or a backyard composter) Not Acceptable: 33 Bandages and medical waste Cigarette butts or ashes (including fireplace ashes) Clothing/textiles Construction waste Corks Dead animals Diapers and hygiene products Disposable mop sheets, dryer lint Frozen juice containers Glass, aluminum foil, and other recyclables Oils or lubricants, and other hazardous wastes Pet waste (droppings, kitty litter) Plastic bags, containers and food wrap Rubber products Sod, topsoil, rocks Takeout cups, wax cartons and wax paper Twist ties, vacuum bags Lining the Bin There are a number of options for lining your green bin and kitchen container: No liner at all: Placing organics in the green bin loose is acceptable, however food may freeze to the bottom of the bin in the winter. Duct tape a plastic bag into the bin: Plastic bags are not allowed in the collection truck, so duct tape the bag into the green bin so that it does not come out when the food waste is collected. Newspaper or paper bags: We suggest wrapping organic material in newspaper or paper bags to absorb moisture, reduce odours and pests, and to help prevent your material from sticking or freezing to the green bin in the winter. Shredded Paper: Shredded paper placed in the bottom and throughout your bin absorbs moisture and smells. It also helps keep food from freezing to the bottom of the bin during the winter Certified Compostable Bags: Some residents may prefer the additional convenience of using certified compostable bags in the green bin or kitchen container. These liners are 100% compostable, come in sizes to fit both containers and will minimize odours, insects and leakage. Bags should be tied; please do not use c n plasti ar gree le (c ags S b BAG bage PLASTIC gs, gar a b g in the hoppin rmitted bags, s e p t o are n Program etc.) P O STS!
