The Bluewater Recycling Association is issuing an important reminder: don’t throw your gloves or masks in blue bins.
BRA President Francis Veilleux says when you do, it puts their employees at risk and as a result, their entire operation.
BRA employees wear appropriate PPE but Veilleux says the virus could still get onto that and infect a sorter.
The proper way to dispose masks and gloves is to put them inside a sealed up bag and throwing them into the garbage.
