Recycling update

Here are some pictures of a recycling depot in Hearst, Ontario, as promised. 



There are two such depots in town.  Hearst is a town of about 5500 residents on Highway 11.  Other towns with recycling depots on Highway 11, are as follows:

Opasatika - population 280

Mattice -population 772

I am not sure if any other towns along Highway 11 have similar facilities.  No doubt, a similar model could be applied to Chapleau.  No collecting would be required by the municipality, thereby reducing costs.

Something to think about in 2011.  We are already decades behind other municipalities in Ontario (and even the rest of Canada, I'd imagine) in having no recycling whatsoever.  Let's move into modern times, shall we.

  2. Great idea. I think a good spot would be at the Arena somewhere.
