If it's not dry, we have to send it to Landfill.
We have a few updates to our Dry Waste system which is designed for items unsuitable for traditional recycling but still recoverable, such as clean plastic bags and empty coffee cups. By continuing to eliminate the general waste option, we're hoping to encourage more conscious waste disposal, while working towards our goal of 80% diversion from landfill.
This targeted sorting increases recycling potential, reduces contamination in other streams, and significantly decreases landfill-bound waste, aligning with the building's broader sustainability goals and enhancing overall waste management efficiency. Let's get down and dirty with the Dry Waste details.
Dry Waste goes in the brown bins.
- Accepted: clean plastic bags, empty coffee cups, stationery items, paper towels, textiles, empty drink cartons.
- Not accepted: food, liquids, organics, glass, e-waste, hazardous materials.

And let's not forget about all our other usual waste stream suspects:
Food Waste goes in the green bins. Quick tip: No food packaging, even if it’s compostable!
Mixed Recycling goes in the yellow bins. Quick tip: Keep it clean and dry! Rinse containers before placing them in the mixed recycling bin.
Paper and Cardboard goes in the blue bins. Quick tip: No soiled cardboard, paper towels, or TetraPak drink cartons.
The colour-coded system aims to make waste sorting easy. Want to understand our waste streams a little better?
