Total 31,360 kg

My thoughts

 We are 17.7 tonnes ahead of last year. The continued trend of increases is good to see. 

I was hoping for more. We did a lot of promotion this year. Creighton began free curbside pickup. Flin Flon purchased a trailer that is conveniently located in the empty parking lot by Canadian Tire and Walmart. 

Cardboard continues to be 48% of recyclables. This means there are new households recycling which is always a good thing.

Thank you for recycling. If you know someone who is not, your encouragement could change that. 

If you have any questions about what is recyclable, please do not hesitate to contact the Centre at 204 687 6169 or comment here or on our facebook page Flin Flon Recycling.
