Old milk jugs now blue bin approved

Feb 9, 2016 | 5:22 AM

The City of Prince Albert’s new “Washed and Squashed” program allows residents to recycle milk jugs and containers as part of their curbside recycling or in the City’s depot bins.

City officials only ask that milk jugs are “washed and squashed” before getting tossed in.

Previously, as there were no alternatives, SARCAN had accepted milk containers to be recycled.

Milk containers are now considered the same as any other dairy containers (yogurt, sour cream etc.)
