Flattening cans

In the York Region waste calendar, it’s made clear that we shouldn’t flatten bottles and cans. Here’s why: Flattened bottles and cans may end up in the wrong waste stream at the recycling plant in EastGwillimbury, contaminating the sorted piles. For example, a flattened Coke can could end up in a newspaper bale, making it unrecyclable thereby losing money on its sale.

So much stuff to keep track of.
