The Blue and Grey boxes are used for storing regular, everyday, recyclable items until they are ready to be picked up by the city trucks, either garbage or recycling. 

THE BLUE BOX

The purpose of the blue box is for people to put recyclable items with materials made of Aluminum, Glass and certain plastics. Toronto's Blue Boxes collect the regular stuff which are: Any Glass Bottles or Jars, metal cans, and plastic items with the number 1 or 2 symbol on the item. Only those plastics will be able to be recycled.
