More recycling bins
Iqaluit residents who have
yet to pick up their blue plastic recycling bins have another chance.
The Iqaluit Recycling Society
will be at Northmart this weekend from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday and 1
p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday with more of the bins.
Homes in Iqaluit are asked
to separate their household plastics into blue garbage bags, which fit nicely
into the blue bins. The bags are picked up by the city like regular garbage
bags. The collected plastics are baled together and sent south to be recycled,
rather than going to the landfill as some plastics give off toxins when burned.
