The Recycling Centre processes a wide variety of materials that are shipped to mills all over North America to be made into something new.
We collect packaging, paper, batteries, computers and parts like printers, monitors, etc. We collect old paint and fluorescent bulbs and tubes from homes for proper disposal.
Here is the list to clip and save. Our survey indicated that most people get their information from others so please share this information widely. The list is also available on our website and on Facebook Flin Flon Recycling.

*********************************************************************************
We receive a variety of items that are not recyclable. There are the usual things like Styrofoam, plastic bags, disposable coffee cups, photographs, disposable paper products like paper towel.
We also receive vacuum cleaners, BBQ’s, window blinds, siding, toys, clothes, coffee makers, power tools, hot water tanks, propane tanks, weed eaters to name a few.
If something is reusable we may use it, or advertise it. We sometimes take items to the second hand stores or the Re-Store. Finding the time and space to manage reusable items is challenging. It is best that everyone takes care of their items.
If it is on the list, recycle it. If it is not, it’s garbage.
