Recycling Strategy Up for Discussion


Residents of Emo will get another opportunity tonight to comment on a propose recycling strategy for their community.

The town is in the midst of a Class Environment Assessment.
Councillor Vernon Thompson says the plan includes setting up a depot to keep recyclables out of the landfill.

"Removing the cardboard from the dump, number 1 and number 2 plastics - that kind of stuff," says Thompson. "We'll have a spot for tires. We have that now. We have a spot for steel. We'll have an electronics site. Get rid of the tin cans out of the dump so that less stuff that goes in the dump the longer it's going to last."

The meeting at the Emo-LaVallee Community Centre goes from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
