Many people do not know exactly what can and cannot go in their curbside recycling. In this section, you will figure out what is acceptable in your recycling bin.

1. What City or Township do you live in? _________________________________

2. (1 pt) Find the website for your community’s curbside recycling or the drop-off station you identified in Question 1. For a City or Township, I recommend searching for “City of _____________ Recycling”. Copy and paste your city’s or drop-off station’s recycling website here.

3. (4 pts) Below is a list of commonly recycled items. Use the website you found in Question 2 to determine you can recycle these in your curbside recycling or at your drop-off station. To determine what can be recycled at McMaster, visit the https://facilities.mcmaster.ca/sustainability/waste/. Answer yes/no.
