More Recycling Bin Info from Councillor Adam Vaughan

Our neighbouring Councillor, Adam Vaughan, has sent out the following information to his constituents. Our Councillor for the Niagara Neighbourhood is Joe Pantalone - his office can be reached at 416-392-4009 or via email at councillor_pantalone@toronto.ca.

--------
Residents of single-family homes in Ward 20 are now starting to receive their new recycling bins. Many are also discovering that the bins do not fit well on their property. If your bin is too large for your property, there are a few options that the city can provide to try and fit your property’s physical requirements.

City staff are offering site visits to residents to help identify the approach that will work best for each property. This includes:

- trading your bin for a smaller bin
- dual use (garbage & recycling) bins
- the possibility of using clear plastic bags to put out recycling for pickup

To request a site visit to determine alternate options that would work best for you, please contact (Joe Pantalone's office for the Niagara Neighbourhood).

Please provide us your name, address and phone number to request a site visit to determine alternate options that would work best for you. Residents can also call 416-392-BINS (2467) however the line is extremely busy due to the bin roll-out and may have long waiting times. Please be advised that there is currently a three-week wait to receive a site visit.

If your neighbours have received their bins but you have not, this may because of different order sizes, as deliveries are taking place by size. Until you receive your new bin, you can continue to use your old blue and grey bins. You can also contact our office via e-mail or phone to check in on your bin delivery.
