City of Thunder Bay Media Release
Thunder Bay residents are reminded that the brightly coloured or foil wrapping paper often used during the Christmas season cannot be recycled because of its high ink content.
“GFL will not collect blue bags that contain wrapping paper left at the curb, nor will they collect wrapping paper brought to recycling depots,” said Jason Sherband, Manager of the City’s Solid Waste & Recycling Services Section.
“Wrapping paper must be put out with your regular garbage.”
Residents are encouraged to find alternative ways to wrap Christmas presents with recyclable materials, such as newsprint, or reusable fabric gift bags.
