Residents in Fort Frances and Atikokan got their chance this week to comment on a study aimed at increasing recycling in their communities.
John Smith of Trow Engineering says many of the options are based on what's being tried elsewhere.
"There are a number of best practices that have been flushed out from municipalities in Ontario that can help towns like Atikokan and Fort Frances," says Smith.
It's suggested Fort Frances ban recycling materials from landfill and the use of plastic bags in stores while Atikokan consider a promotional and educational program to increase recycling.
