But what happens if you have more stuff to recycle than what you are allowed to bring to the curb? Or what if you’re a manufacturing, construction or trade services company with lots of recyclable waste an a regular basis.
If you’re in the GTA that answer is simple. Just call or bring your materials to Peel Scrap Metal Recycling.
