Collection Depot Open


Fort Frances' new recycling collection depot is now open.

The town's environmental superintendent Doug Herr says the facility on Sixth Street West allows residents to drop of acceptable recyclables at any time of the day.

"There are four bins that you feed through the fence to put your recycling in to," says Herr. "When the bins are full we'll dump them into the recycling building on the same property and put the bins back.
Herr says the town will be monitoring the site regularly to ensure things such as tires and household waste aren't dropped off.

A $75-thousand grant from Waste Diversion Ontario aided in the facilities construction.
