RE’S NO PLACE THE
hen you and your friends sign a lease, you’ve taken a major step as an independent adult. With those privileges also come responsibilities. The Student Association encourages you to be a good neighbour in whatever area of Kingston that you choose to live. Your actions will help ensure that SLC students maintain a good reputation in our community.

Blue Box
All items should be clean and placed loosely in the Blue Box. • Glass food and beverage bottles and jars – but NOT broken glass, drinking glasses or light bulbs. • Styrofoam – no popcorn. Styrofoam pieces must be no larger than 3’x 2’x 8’’. • Aluminum and steel cans – including paper cans with metal ends. Put can tops into can and pinch shut. • Plastic food and beverage containers, and “blister” packaging (like the kind they use to package tools or children’s toys). • Alcohol containers can be returned to The Beer Store for deposit refund.

Garbage
• Shouting, yelling, and other disturbances between the hours of 11:00 pm and 7:00 am can results in fines up to $5,000. • Drinking alcohol in public is punishable without a warning by a $125 fine. Having liquor in an open container, not in a licensed area or private residence, is also subject to fines.
Grey box
The following items go in your Grey box: • Paper products – including glossy magazines, newspapers, junk mail and telephone books • Boxboard, like cereal and cracker boxes. • Milk cartons, Tetra Paks, paper cups. • Plastic bags – including shopping bags, milk bags, bread bags and any bag that passes the “stretch test.” If you can stretch, it goes in the Grey Box, if you can’t, it doesn’t. Please stuff plastic bags into one bag, so they don’t blow away. • Corrugated cardboard goes out on your Grey Box week. Flatten it, bundle and tie it. Bundles should not exceed 3’x 2’x 8’’. There is a six-bundle limit per collection. Place bundles beside the Grey Box. Do NOT put wax-coated or soiled pizza boxes out with your cardboard – these go in the Green Bin.
Parties please remember
• Respect the people living around you. • Let your neighbours know what is going on in advance and provide them ways to contact you directly if there are problems. • Any noise that can be heard outside of your home and disturbs your neighbours is forbidden at any time of day or night.
The City collects one untagged bag/container of garbage per household each week (with a maximum weight of 20 kilograms, or 44 pounds and with a maximum volume of 135 litres). The City will also collect all tagged garbage. Bag tags are $2 each and available at SA Front Desk. The City will collect two untagged bags of garbage on each residents’ first garbage collection day following New Year’s Day, Victoria Day and Labour Day.
