The Convenience of Recycling

We received this note from a reader yesterday:

'Just in case you’re interested, http://www.e-know.ca/  has a story out today that Wal-Mart is removing its community recycling centre. Perhaps some of the more community-minded businesses in town should be/are willing to step in and take over this important function?'

 Recycling happens more often when it is convenient and apparently the Wal-Mart Centre was heavily used and very popular. While we don't know why this recycling centre is being removed there is the transfer station recycling centre very close by so it would be great to see a business or organisation take this on in an area of town where there isn't a recycling centre. 

There are also two curbside recycling businesses in Cranbrook - Visionary Recycling and Earth Elements.  There is a monthly fee of course for this service as the city does not offer this utility. This writer loves the service and finds it is so much easier to recycle knowing that once a week the bins go out and get emptied.   After the gift of a year's subscription this household has not gone back to the weekly drive to the transfer station.  It is so convenient.
