The Municipality of Trent Lakes has a two-stream Blue Box Recycling Program. This program is managed by the County of Peterborough.
Sort your blue box material into two boxes, containers and papers (fibres). Here is a printable Blue Box Sort Guide to help with your sorting. Use the searchable waste and recycling app to help you sort your recycling and also find out how you can recycle or dispose of a product or material. You can also download the app to your phone so you have access on the go.
