New bottle/can recycling baskets are now part of the City Centre Park garbage cans.
The bottle baskets are an initiative of the City’s Environmental Services Department and the Environmental Committee, SARCAN and YBID. Eight more baskets for bottle and can recycling will be installed on downtown garbage receptacles, with the possibility of further expansion of the program in the future. Receptacles of this type are used in many cities across Canada, and are designed to be self-sustaining. This means that if individuals wish to collect and recycle the bottles and cans to places like SARCAN it is easy and possible to do so. Otherwise, YBID sidewalk cleaners will be picking up the recycling items.
