Snow Removal For snowfall events the following is the priority followed for snow plowing:• Arterial (main) roads

and bus routes• Collector roads and

industrial areas• Residential through-streets• Cul-de-sacs and dead-ends• Bus stops

The objective of the Board of Works is to plow all streets as quickly as possible after a snowfall. The target for a normal snowfall is to ensure one pass has been made through all areas within twenty-four (24) hours. For major storms complete City coverage may take thirty-six (36) hours.

THIS EARTH HOUR, SHINE A LIGHT

ON CLIMATE ACTION.Switch off your light and switch on your

EARTHHOUR.ORG25 MAR 2017 | 8:30 PM

Hundreds of millions of people, businesses and governments around the world unite each year to support the largest environmental event in history – Earth Hour. By switching off your lights and non-essential power sources for one hour, you too can send a powerful message for action to save the planet. Earth Hour, organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), began in 2007 and now includes participants from over 152 countries in more than 6,700 cities and towns worldwide. The Woodstock Environmental Advisory Council (WEAC) would like to encourage individuals and businesses to ‘switch off’ and take a stand against climate change. Join us March 25th from 8:30–9:30 pm. For more information on Earth Hour visit, www.earthhour.org.

Reduce your need for plastic shopping bags by:

✓ Using reusable bags, boxes, backpacks or carts for your shopping.

✓ Saying “no” to plastic bags at the cash register if you only have a few items.

✓ Put purchases in a bag you’re already carrying.

✓ Don’t take a bag unless you really need it. Bags can usually hold at least eight items, and avoid double-bagging.

✓ Keep bags at your front door, in your purse or in the car, ready to re-use on your next visit to the store, or to protect your belongings if it rains.

✓ Say “no” to plastic bags. Avoid the minimum 5 ¢ charge per bag.

HINTS & TIPSKeep ’em LoosePut all containers loose into your containers box in order to make the process easier at the recycling centre. If you tie them in a bag, there is the extra step of ripping them open so the materials can be sorted properly. Keep the weight of your recycling container under 20 kilograms or 44 pounds.

Packaging GuidelineIf it contained something dry (e.g., cereal box), it can be placed in your fibres box. If it contained something wet (e.g., milk/juice carton) it belongs in your containers box.

Remove the Lids – All of ThemRemove all lids from all containers. Leaving the lids on traps air inside the containers and they end up taking up too much room in the collection truck. Trapped air cannot be compacted.

The following lids go in your containers box:• metal “caps” or “lids”• plastic “caps” or “lids” that are the same size (or larger)

than the container itself (e.g., sour cream, margarine or glass jar lids)

The following lids go in the garbage:• plastic twist off caps• any other plastic “cap” or “lid” that is smaller than the

container itself (e.g., pop bottle caps, milk/juice carton lids)

Keep Fibers and Containers SeparateThe recycling trucks are equipped with “split” bodies – they have a wall inside that keeps fibers and containers separate. If you see a collector toss everything into the same truck, know that they are not being mixed together. Please keep the weight of your recycling container under 20 kilograms or 44 pounds.

Please avoid use of bags; place heavier items on top.

FIBRES

• newspapers, flyers, household paper, envelopes

• gift wrap (no foil), greeting cards

• magazines, catalogues, telephone books, soft cover books

• boxboard, paper bags, food boxes

• paper towel rolls, tissue boxes, dryer sheet boxes, detergent boxes

• paper egg cartons, coffee takeout trays

• corrugated cardboard, pizza boxes

CONTAINERS

• aluminum, metal and glass containers

• plastic jugs, bottles and tubs (#1 through #5), plastic bags

• cardboard cans (i.e. frozen orange juice)

• aluminum foil and trays

• rigid polystyrene (#6)

• styrofoam food trays (no large pieces of styrofoam from packaging)

• gable top & Tetra-Pak containers

• empty aerosol and paint cans
