The B.C. government says more items can go into residential recycling bins effective immediately.
The province is also accepting more plastic items exclusively at its recycling depots, including plastic sandwich and freezer bags, plastic shrink wrap and plastic shopping bags.
"This expanded materials list will allow more material to be recycled, keep it out of landfills and stop it from littering the environment," said Recycle BC executive director Tamara Burns in a release Friday. "Residents play a key role in recycling this material by enabling it to be collected – by putting it into their bins or taking materials to a depot," she said.Plastic plates, bowls and cupsAluminum-foil baking dishes and pie platesPlastic shrink wrapFlexible plastic recycling bags The province plans to add mattresses, electric vehicle batteries and medical sharps – such as syringes and lancets – to its recycling system over the next four years.
The province will also add "moderately hazardous products," such as compressed-fuel canisters, over the same period.
