Supporting Municipalities to Promote Carton Recycling

Over the course of the last five years, the CCC has collaborated with a number of municipalities to support their carton recycling efforts.

City of London, ON

The Carton Council of Canada partnered with the City of London to promote a recycling contest that would encourage Londoners to correctly sort their cartons and cups and other recyclables.

Digital Advertising Campaign: Fall 2015

The Carton Council of Canada partnered with four Ontario communities to increase awareness of carton recycling using streamlined digital advertising. The project leveraged an existing creative, customized for each of the participating communities: Essex Windsor Solid Waste Authority, Quinte Waste Solutions, Simcoe County, and City of Toronto. The ad was featured on Facebook, The Weather Network, and Google AdWords from October 5th to November 19th. For more information, read the article in Recycling Product News.

 

Bluewater Recycling Association:

CCC provided technical and education (P&E) assistance for cartons to be added to a multi-community recycling program in Southern Ontario (September 2012)

City of Hamilton, ON:

CCC provided promotion and education assitance and a grant for the city to promote carton recycling through advertisement in local newspapers, magazines, on web, and social media. The initiative resulted in an increase in carton recycling awareness demonstrated via social media stats; small city-wide capture increase in short time period; and 3% decrease in households placing cartons in the wrong stream (paper stream instead of container stream) in pilot area of 185 households (January-February 2013)

Capital Regional District (CRD), British Colombia:

CCC provided support for cartons to be added to region-wide program; technical and P&E assistance and waste auditing, supported a campaign to overcome multi-family building challenges. The program resulted in 15% overall increase in reported recycling behaviour over the brief pilot campaign (Summer 2013)

The CCC is happy to assist municipalities in any way it can.
