How are we doing as a community with our recycling efforts?

The Town of Comox recently received the results of a Recycle BC composition audit of materials collected through our curbside recycling program.

The audit found that while residents are doing a good job participating in recycling, nearly 17% of the material collected was considered incompatible with the Recycling BC program.

The most common items found were:
❌ Plastic household items and toys
❌ Clothing and textiles
❌ Scrap metal
❌ Books
❌ Recyclables placed in plastic bags

Every correctly sorted item helps reduce contamination and improve recycling efficiency.

For more information on what can and cannot be recycled curbside, you can use the Waste Wizard tool in the Comox Curbside app or visit the Town of Comox webpage for links to all the tools and resources. comox.ca/solidwaste

Thank you, Comox, for doing your part.
