CrittersWildlife is abundant in the City ofKawartha Lakes! To keep them outof your waste and recycling:

• Use a garbage can or box lid

• Set out on collection morning (by 7AM); the less time exposedand in the hot sun, the better

• Store organics (especially bone andmeat waste) in the freezer until youare ready to place it at the curb

• Invest in a heavy-duty, bear-proofbin. Halve the cost by sharing itwith a neighbour. Clearly mark yourhouse numbers on the inside lid ofyour garbage can to avoid singledwelling bag limit penalties

You are responsible for your recyclingand waste until it is collected.

Coffee CupsThere’s nothing like a hot cup ofcoffee (or hot chocolate) on a coldwinter’s day!

But if you don’t have a travel mugand need to recycle, where doesyour paper cup go?

Because they have a specialcoating inside, paper coffee cupscan’t be recycled with paper. Theyare, in fact, processed with TetraPak-type containers, milk and juicecartons, and paper ice cream tubs.The lids are polystyrene andrecycled with Styrofoam!

So what does that mean for you?

Empty the contents, separate thelid from the cup and into the bluebin they both go!
