2 Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, February 4, 2016 | Notice of couNcil meetiNgs TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16 Council Meeting 3 p.m. Public Meeting 7 p.m. (not required) The agenda for the Council meetings will be available for review at the Municipal Offices, Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library and on our website 12 p.m. (noon) the Thursday prior to the meeting. HELPFUL REMINDERS FOR RECYCLING ON WINDY DAYS Unfortunately it always seems to be windy on recycling day! On windy days, the lighter contents in blue boxes and green bins can often be found blowing out of bins resulting in litter blown on our streets and on our neighbour's properties. To help prevent this from happening, here are a few suggestions to keep blue box contents in their place: · Place heavier items such as books and magazines on top of the lighter items. This should help prevent light blue box materials (such as paper) from blowing out of the bin and littering the streets. · Bundle cardboard and newspapers separately. These bundles can act as a `lid' for your blue box. · On windy days, consider putting your recycling boxes out for collection in the morning, rather than the night before or skip that week's collection and place your recycling out for following week if your blue boxes aren't full. · Don't overfill your blue box, keep material below the rim to prevent the wind from catching it and blowing it out of the bin. There is no limit for the number of blue boxes put out for weekly collection. Additional blue boxes can be purchased at our Customer Service Department. You may also take your recycling to one of York Region's Recycling Depots located across the region. More information can be found on page 3 of the Recycling and Waste Collection Calendar or on the Town's website.
