Additional Information

Go Go Green reserves the right to leave any items that do not meet the above criteria in the customer’s bin. Containers with food products CAN NOT be recycled as food will contaminate entire bins at the recycling depot and contents will need to be disposed of in the land fill.  

We thank you for taking the initiative towards a greener community and supporting Horizons Centre’s employment skill building program.
