The Sea to Sky
residents have reduced their landfill waste by 50% since 1990 simply by
Reduction, Reuse & Recycling. Carney's ships 20 tonnes of recyclables to
an end use plant every day.
Recycling: Closing
the Loop...When a
large quantity of recycled material is collected free of
contamination it becomes a marketable product. Collection is
just the first step in the recycling process. Material must be
properly sorted and transported to several different companies
for processing and distribution. These companies either reuse
the material or manufacture other products. Recycling can only
work if we purchase products that are made of recycled material.
By doing this you are closing the loop. By properly preparing
your recyclables for drop off you will be helping to:
Prevent
pollution
Save
natural resources
Reduce the
amount of energy wasted and air pollution produced when raw
materials are refined and made into products
Contamination is the Enemy...DO NOT leave garbage or
recyclables outside the containers. KEEP the SEA to SKY CORRIDOR
CLEAN! Take all recyclable items to the RECYCLE CENTRE in
Squamish, Pemberton or to the RECYCLE CENTRE at Municipal Landfill in
Whistler, where they will be sorted and processed.
To Prepare
your items...for placement in the bins please rinse them out,
remove the lids and flatten.
