Last October the Recycling Centre decided to review its red bag curbside pickup recycling program in Flin Flon.  There were not enough people using the service to cover their costs.  Administrator Deb Odegaard says following the review they have decided to continue.  She explains when they reviewed it several people mentioned it was their only way to get recycling to the Centre, others really enjoyed the convenience, they had several new people join up and so looking at the deficit it wasn’t really significant enough to outweigh the fact that people still want the program so they decided to continue it.

For pick up you just put your recycling on the curb Wednesday morning and they’ll pick it up as long as you purchased a red bag for $3.50 which covers the cost for doing the pickup service.  Anyone interested can find information on their website www.flinflonrecycle.org and give them a call at 204-687-6169 so they can make sure you’re on the route where they are doing pickups.
