How to Dispose of Shredded Paper

Our new collection service is launching in the City of Port Alberni on September 13th, 2021!

Along with a new green cart for organics – single-family homes will receive a new blue cart for recycling.

Wondering how to recycle some items? Here’s a tip on how to dispose of shredded paper:

Curbside

Place shredded paper in a clear plastic bag (do not use coloured or opaque garbage bags) INSIDE your blue recycling cart.

This will make it easy to pull and sort off the line at the post collection facility.

*All other items in the blue cart should be left loose.

Depot

When depositing shredded paper at the Recycling Depots, please place shredded paper in a paper bag or cardboard box so as not to contaminate the paper stream.
