“Each of your blue, green and black cart programs has specific materials that are ok to go in these bins. Anything other than the listed materials or properly prepared materials could be considered a contaminant. Sorting your waste into the right bins is necessary so that material ends up at the right facility to be turned into new products or to go for final disposal.
A single piece of contamination in the bin can have far-reaching, long lasting impacts. The consequences of contamination create real challenges that impact the health and safety of workers, the waste facilities and increase program costs for Calgarians.”
