It Was Another Successful Year of Recycling.

The Flin Flon and District Environment Council held their annual meeting last night.  Recycling Centre Administrator Deb Odegaard reported they did 510 tonnes of regular recycling last year, three loads of E-waste for 26 and a half tonnes, 911 kilograms household batteries, 97 boxes of fluorescent bulbs, 3 tub skids of gasoline, 8 of paint from recycling and 29 barrels of other hazardous waste. She noted tonnage was down by 10 percent in 2022 adding the red bag curbside pickup averages 10 to 15 bags weekly.

             

Odegaard explained the Council’s goals are really about the whole environment not just recycling so they want to tackle other issues in the environment the community thinks is important and doable. Some suggestions included curbside recycling should be mandatory, landfill development with the city having a study underway, develop composting, community gardens in vacant lots, education on recycling and getting a grant to pull all of the garbage being dumped in bush areas.

             

Odegaard presented their Community Champion Award to Karen MacKinnon and the Employee Service Award to Dan Boily.
