Fort Frances town councillors have accepted a report in principal aimed at increasing the amount of materials collected for recycling in the town.
The report makes nine recommendations.
Operations and Facilities Manager Doug Brown says its now up to council to decided how it will proceed with the report.
"This is a ten year strategy," says Brown. "Every one of the strategies will cost the community more money so what (council) will have to decide is which one strategy we're going to do in 2011 for the coming year."
Requiring businesses to ban the use of plastic shopping bags is among proposed recommendations.
