Curbside collection (CC) means that you drop off your packaging for recycling close to your home. The packaging is then picked up by a waste management contractor who transports the material onwards for recycling. Curbside collection serves as a complement to recycling stations and makes it easier for you to sort your packaging because it is closer to your home.
