Recycling Plastics Presentation

Many thanks to Ann Eriksson for her very informative and extremely interesting presentation on plastics and their effects on our environment and our health. Ann’s session was filled with much need information and needless to say, was highly educational. Thanks also to Stephanie Cottell for helping organize Ann’s presentation.

The presentation was well attended at our community’s sanitation (solid waste) yard, on Saturday, August 25th. It is our hope that there will be follow-up information sessions, as well as future ESPOKES postings.

In the meantime, please ensure you do your best to assist our team at the sanitation yard; you can help by cleaning and presorting your recyclable materials as well as making sure that your household garbage contains no materials that can be recycled. The volunteers and staff at the yard will be more than happy to assist you and answer any questions you may have regarding solid waste collection, recyclable materials and appropriate garbage disposal. 

Once again, our many thanks to Tim French and Vicki Walker and all the volunteers at the sanitation yard.
