At the Flin Flon and District Environment Council annual meeting last night Recycling Center Administrator Deb Odegaard reported we recycled almost 414 tonnes last year up 17 tonnes from 2013 with a continuing goal of 500 tonnes and three shipments of ewaste were sent out.
Odegaard says there have been changes in the past year with curbside pick up starting in Creighton on May 1st, there is a recycling trailer in the former Extra Foods parking lot and a new website www.flinflonrecycling.org.
She says they are looking forward to working with municipal governments in getting support from Denare Beach, starting a tags for bags program for garbage pick up and banning cardboard from the landfill.
Odgaard presented awards to Kendal and Pandya for Community Support, the Community Champion Award Kathy Lysohirka, ten year service award to Wayne Freund and twenty year Board Member awards to Jan Modler and Greg East.
