Right Bin for the Win

The City of Calgary, in partnership with RED FM, brings you the “Right Bin for the Win.”

Sorting waste can be tricky, but every decision is crucial, and many might not even know which item goes into which bin.

Green

Green bins are for food scraps and yard waste.

Blue

Your blue bin is for acceptable household paper, cardboard and container packaging.

Black

Items like fruit pouches, chip bags and granola bar wrappers should be placed in the black bin.

On-air, you will have a chance to win prizes and learn which items belong in which bin (blue, green, or black). 

Together we can all make a significant impact and become recycling and composting champions!

HOW TO PLAY: 

Tune in each weekday from Feb. 3rd to the 28th to play Right Bin for the Win. Once you hear the cue to call, be the eligible fifth caller through. The RED FM host will give you an everyday common household item and ask you which bin it belongs in: Green, Blue, or Black. Answer correctly, and your name goes into the weekly grand prize draw to win 4 movie tickets. If you answer incorrectly, we will go to the next eligible caller until we have a winner.
