Clear Bags for Garbage Update
We introduced clear garbage bags to the Valley in 2008 to improve handling safety and to increase recycling and
composting. As a result, we are now sending almost 20% less garbage to landfill than in 2007 and have reduced the risk
of garbage - related injuries. All by simply changing the colour of a bag.

The Privacy Bag
2008/2009
We recognize that some garbage may want to be kept private. We would prefer only the use of clear bags
but each household in the Valley is allowed one solid-colour privacy bag on collection day. However, the
privacy bag must only contain garbage items; it cannot contain recyclables, compostables or hazardous
waste. Personal mail may be shredded or ripped up and placed in the blue bag along with other papers.

Clear Bags are not just for Regular Collection.
Remember to also use clear bags for any bagged
items you bring to our Management Centres. Clear
bags are also required for bagged waste put out for
Spring and Fall Cleanup.

Dumping in Commercial Dumpsters is Illegal!
To protect our environment, there are
provincial and municipal laws to regulate
waste disposal.
A common form of illegal dumping is at
private waste containers (i.e. dumpsters).
These containers are not for public
use; they are rented by an organization or
individual who then pays a hauling company
to remove the waste.
When garbage is illegally dumped in a
waste container, whether by a stranger or
an employee, it costs the business extra
time and money.
Did You
Know ?
That the cost to dispose of a small load (up to 60
kg) at the Management Centre is only $4 and
the average cost to dispose of a 1/2 ton truck
load of regular household waste is $13.
Note: Cost depends on the weight of the materials.
There are better and legal ways to dispose of
your waste. You can place sorted materials
at curbside on your regular collection day.
The costs are included in your property
taxes so there is no extra charge. There are
also two Management Centres in Kentville
and Lawrencetown and other licensed,
privately run sites that accept sorted waste
for a nominal fee.

Construction and Demolition Debris
Construction and Demolition (C&D) materials are those items leftover at a construction, renovation or
demolition site. Materials such as wood, metal, asphalt shingles and drywall are often discarded in a landfill
but can be useful commodities that can be recycled into new products. Recycling C&D materials is good for
the environment, can save you money and is easy to do!

Sorting On The Go
Valley residents do a great job sorting their waste at home and at work. But
one area where we greatly need to improve is using public containers while
out-and-about:
Construction
&
Waste
Disposal
• Parks • Sporting events • Festivals
We all need to do our part to send less waste to the landfill and public
waste bins are an important component. Taking an extra 30 seconds to
read the signage and sort waste properly can really make a big difference.
Many businesses have invested in sorting stations with fantastic signage of
waste generated in their store.
Photo: RRFB Nova Scotia
Festivals and Events
Need to borrow containers for your event?
Valley Waste can help. We loan out 3-stream
sorting stations for events of all sizes.

• Shopping • Quick service restaurants
Many events in the Valley are doing a great job
of greening their event with proper sorting
stations for waste. Whether it’s a large scale
festival or a community supper, if attendees
are expected to manage their own waste, the
option to recycle and compost must be offered.

Despite 15 years of recycling in Nova Scotia,
there are still public areas that do not offer
recycling and compost containers. It’s something
we’re working on but if there isn’t an option
to recycle, it’s best to practice what all good
campers do: Pack it in - pack it out so you can
recycle it at home. If you feel strongly that there
should be a sorting station at that location – call
us. We may be able to help.
Provincial funding is available to
not-for-profit groups to green
their event. Groups can receive
up to $500 for sorting stations
or other green initiatives.

SAFETY FIRST
The safety of our employees and those who provide services on our behalf is our most important priority and we need your help!
Injuries are reported every day as the result of items being disposed of unsafely. What you put in your waste could hurt someone’s
mom, dad, brother, sister, son or daughter.
The following is a list of items that need careful consideration prior
to disposal along with tips on how best to handle them safely:
Explosives and ammunition – Ammunition
can be returned to any RCMP division. For
explosives (yes, they’re out there!) contact
Camp Aldershot or 14 Wing Greenwood.
Broken glass, knives, scissors - These can
all puncture workers. Please place beside
your bags in a sealed cardboard box or rigid
container and label “Sharp” or “Broken Glass”
Medical Waste - There is very little medical
waste (i.e. tubing, dressings etc,) that is
recyclable. Please place medical waste in the
garbage. Call us for more information on
medical waste and its proper disposal.
Sharps - All Pharmacies in NS provide
containers for diabetic needles and lancets
and accept the full container free of charge.
All other needles can be brought to VWRM in
a tightly sealed container, free of charge. Do
not place needles inside plastic pop bottles.
No Bleach Please – When people pour bleach
over bags or green carts (to keep animals
away) the hazardous liquid can spray into the
face of the waste collector.

Ashes - Do not belong in the green cart. Green
carts are ventilated and can stoke seemingly
cold ashes back to life. Ashes have caused fires
in garbage trucks, green carts, as well as nearby
buildings. Set ashes outside in a metal container
for at least 3 weeks and then spread on your
lawn or garden. If that is not an option, put
COLD ashes in clear garbage bags and set out for
roadside collection.

Remember the 3 R’s? Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Generations before us knew the value of many of the things we
now throw away; resources weren’t taken for granted. It’s time to heed the wisdom of days gone by and start
reusing all that we can. If you can’t reuse the item around the house in another way, think of whether that item
could be useful to others in your community.

2012 Waste Management Calendar
THIS HOLIDAY SEASON GIVE THE
GIFT OF A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT!
Holiday Waste Reduction Tip
Ever feel like we have too much “stuff”? Stop trying to find some THING for the person who has everything. They might appreciate home
baked goods, tickets to a holiday concert, a gift certificate for a dinner out or a donation made in their name to a worthy cause.
We get lots of questions each year about holiday waste. Below are the most commonly asked.
If you can’t reuse it, where does it go …
• Cookie tins • Rigid plastic packaging (from toys)
• Bubble wrap
Blue
Bag
Recyclable Containers
• Cardboard boxes • Greeting cards • Gift bags (paper)
• Tissue paper • Wrapping paper (non-metallic)
• Wreaths (wire and plastic removed)
