The blue box recycling program in Fort Frances and Atikokan will get a thorough review.
Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says the study aims to come up with a strategy for both communities that will secure funding received from Waste Diversion Ontario.
"Right now we get a grant of $62-thousand to support picking up blue box and transporting it to our processor in Winnipeg," says Brown. "That would be reduced by 15 per cent if we don't have these strategies in place."
Brown says the public will have a chance to provide input with open houses planned in both communities later this year.
