HOW CAN I RECYCLE MORE?WHY RECYCLE?
Because it’s the right thing to do!By recycling, used materials are converted into new
usable products saving energy, natural resources and
space in our landfills.
Because we have to! In 2015, Metro Vancouver is banning all food scraps
and organic material from the garbage. Plus, disposal
costs for garbage are increasing and are going to
continue to do so. Is your building prepared?
If you are unsure where your recycling bins are
located please ask your neighbours or your property
manager.
