The following is a list of products that EWSWA may sell (based on product availability), either through the local Home Hardware Stores. Products may not always be available. Call your local Home Hardware Store to inquire about availability.

Recycle Boxes (17 gal / 64 L)

Recycle boxes are available in blue (for container products) or red (for paper products). The Blue Box is slightly larger than the Red Box, due to the fact that containers items generally weigh less than paper products, therefore the Blue Box can handle a slightly larger volume.

Recycle boxes can be purchased at Home Hardware Stores for $8.00 plus tax. Prices subject to change.

Mini Recycle Bins (6 gal / 22 L)

Mini bins are a smaller version of the large recycle box. They are also available in blue (for container products) and red (for paper products). Mini bins are suitable for business or home office environments. Mini bins are sold for $5.00 plus tax at Home Hardware Stores. Prices subject to change.
