Since various Christmas festivities result in an abundance of waste, RECYC-QUÉBEC has issued a reminder about what can be recycled, what must be thrown away and what should be brought to your local ecocentre.
The recycling bin: Christmas card envelopes, cardboard boxes, cans, wine bottles and glass containers, cans and plastic bottles. Also non-metallic wrapping paper, tissue paper and toy boxes, as long as the different materials are separated before putting them in the box.
The trash bin: Styrofoam, corks, wine glasses. Broken Christmas baubles and Christmas wreaths that cannot be reused should be thrown in the trash. Most garlands are made from non-recyclable materials.Bows and ribbons, plastic utensils, soiled cardboard, dishes and foil wrapping paper should go in the trash.
The compost bin: Leftovers.
The ecocentre: Unusable Christmas lights and dead batteries must be taken to an ecocentre.
Special collection: Natural Christmas trees will be picked up by the city on various days; check your borough website for more information. Place your Christmas tree — with all decorations and tinsel removed — on the curb after 9 p.m. the day before or before 7 a.m. on collection day.
