Take It Back!
Product Stewardship Program and 3 R’s Community Directory
The 9th edition of the County of Dufferin’s Take It Back! Directory is here…
Lets face it; we all generate waste. Currently, we are helping to reduce,
reuse and recycle many of our unwanted items. However, there are
still materials thrown into our garbage bags that go to landfill sites. In fact,
in Ontario we send approximately ten million tonnes of waste to landfills
each year.
Municipal governments currently handle the majority of residential
collection including large items, waste and recycling. On January 1 2013, the
County of Dufferin will assume the authority of all curbside waste
management programs. With programs such as
recycling,
blue
box
green bin and yard waste
composting, household hazardous waste and
electronic goods
recycling, we are doing what we can to divert
waste from landfills. However, there are still many products out there that
cannot be handled through municipal diversion
programs.
This terrific reference guide can help you to further
reduce your household waste.
It lists retailers,
vendors, and organizations that ‘take back’, used
products and materials. Returned products and
materials are reused, recycled or disposed of
properly. Charitable and community organizations
that accept products for reuse and recycling are also
listed.
Finally, check out the Directory’s other informative
sections. Learn how to reduce your household waste, participate in the
DUFFERIN COMPOSTS! Green Bin Program and find helpful information
about Household Hazardous Waste and Electronic goods Recycling Event
Days.

Product Stewardship Program
What is the “Take It Back!” Program?
The Take It Back! Program gives residents
in Dufferin County the opportunity to
conveniently take their used products
and materials to participating retailers,
vendors and organizations for reuse,

‘special’, in that they cannot be recycled
through the blue box recycling program,
and should not be thrown in the regular
garbage or disposed of down the drain.
Guidelines for the Public

all products must be dropped off during
business hours. Please call ahead to the
retailer (some retailers request an
appointment to be made in advance)

quantities may be limited

in some locations and for certain items, a
small handling fee may apply (these
locations are marked with a *)

residential waste only (no commercially
generated waste is accepted)
Examples of products that are ‘taken
back’ include:

Fact: About 40 percent of all battery sales occur during the holiday season.
Buy rechargeable batteries to accompany your electronic gifts, and consider
giving a battery charger as well. Rechargeable batteries reduce the amount of
potentially harmful materials thrown away, and can save money in the long
run. (www.epa.gov)

Dispose of your waste properly. Have
you ever heard of the Great Pacific
Garbage Patch? This pile of waste is
roughly twice the size of Texas, U.S.
and is floating midway between San
Francisco and Hawaii. It is made up of
3.5 million tons of trash, comprised
mostly of plastic, which cannot decompose naturally and is harmful to
all marine life. (www.telegraph.co.uk)

Reduce Your Waste!
Reducing the amount of waste you produce in the first place can help to conserve
resources and protect the environment.
Practice Smart Shopping
' Choose products with the least amount of packaging.
' Buy in bulk for commonly used items.
' Avoid purchasing disposable products.
' Consider purchasing used goods before purchasing new.
' Buy products made from recyclable materials.
' Avoid waste and spoilage by not purchasing more than is
needed.
' Choose products sold in refillable or recyclable
containers.
' Bring your own reusable cloth bags.
' www.Freecycle.org -receive and share reusable items.


Reduce Waste at Home
Use cloth towels instead of paper towels.
Recycle and compost!
Pack lunches and dinners in reusable containers, not
plastic bags.
Donate reusable clothing and household goods to local
charities. Charitable options can be found throughout
the Take It Back directory.
Use reusable cloth or gift bags instead of wrapping
paper. If you do use wrapping paper, make sure it is nonfoil wrapping paper as that is not recyclable.
Use rechargeable batteries.
Avoid disposable plates and utensils for get-togethers.
Tips to Become Environmentally Friendly

Turn the lights off when you leave a room.

Turn the tap off when brushing your teeth or washing your face.
On average 11 liters of water can be saved if you do.

Carpool or use public transit when possible.

Use a low flow shower head and toilet if possible. You will save
water and money on your water bill.

Canadian drivers idle their cars on average of 5 to 10 minutes a
day. Turn off your ignition if idling for more than 10 seconds
(after this time restarting the car uses less fuel than idling), avoid
using drive-thrus, and don’t start the ignition until you and any passengers are
ready to go.

Lining the Bin
There are a number of options for lining your green bin and kitchen container:
No liner at all:
Placing organics in the green bin loose is acceptable, however food may
freeze to the bottom of the bin in the winter.
Duct tape a plastic bag into the bin:
Plastic bags are not allowed in the collection truck, so duct tape the bag
into the green bin so that it does not come out when the food waste is
collected.
Newspaper or paper bags:
We suggest wrapping organic material in newspaper or paper bags to
absorb moisture, reduce odours and pests, and to help prevent your
material from sticking or freezing to the green bin in the winter.
Shredded Paper:
Shredded paper placed in the bottom and throughout your bin absorbs
moisture and smells. It also helps keep food from freezing to the bottom
of the bin during the winter
Certified Compostable Bags:
Some residents may prefer the additional convenience of using certified
compostable bags in the green bin or kitchen container. These liners are
100% compostable, come in sizes to fit both containers and will minimize
odours, insects and leakage.
