Beginning October 5, Meaford residents will be able to add Styrofoam, plastic film, and cat litter to the weekly curbside recycling and organics waste pickup.
A second component of the new curbside pickup program, large or bulky item pickup will begin in April of 2016. The following regulations will apply.
Plastic Film
Plastic film can be disposed of in the recycling bin at no extra cost. The municipality asks that you bundle all plastic film into one plastic bag, tie it closed, and place the bag inside of your blue box. You should also ensure the plastic film is clean of food products and that any stickers, labels, zippers, seals or drawstrings have been removed or cut off.
