Recycling tip
Kleenex Boxes (facial tissue)
remove the plastic window from the box
bundle the plastic with other plastic bags and collect in a plastic bag until it is full, then tie bag closed and put it in blue recycling cart
fold cardboard Kleenex box and put it in blue recycling cart
Kleenex
Most clean or used Kleenex (and toilet paper) can go in our green composting cart, except Kleenex with:
blood
makeup
cleaning products or
other chemicals
These do NOT go in our green cart. They go in the black garbage cart.
The City also recommends that we do not put facial tissue (instead of toilet paper) down our toilets – they say Kleenex is harmful to our pipes and the environment.
Google “What goes where Calgary” for a detailed, alphabetic list.
