Improvements to the town of Fort Frances' recycling depot are about to begin.
The town has approved a contract with Ed Kaun and Sons that includes setting up large bins for residents to drop off their materials for recycling.
Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says a $75-thousand grant from Waste Diversion Ontario will help cover cost of the work.
"The reason why we got the grant was to provide access and enhance the service to drop off blue boxes," says Brown. "If you go on vacation, you'd have a place to drop off your blue box materials into these bins."
Brown says the depot will not replace current curbside pick up.
