Regina — Regina’s big blue bins will soon accept more items.

Starting on Sept. 1, the bins will accept the same material that residents can toss in their home recycling cart.

This means the big blue bins will take plastic packaging labelled No. 1 to 7, paper, cardboard, metal containers, foil and beverage containers.

The big blue bin depots are available for use 24/7 at the following locations:

The city is looking at adding more locations in the near future.

The city is requesting residents to place loose items in the bins and flatten cardboard boxes. Glass containers aren’t accepted. Recyclable or bulk items should not be placed outside the bin.
