Page 3, News, Tuesday, October 22 1991 Metal can recycling program for Terrace Bay New program hopes to reclaim local metal without spending any money by Darren MacDonald The News The Environmental Action Group to Encourage Recycling m (E.A.G.E.R.) has received per- mission from Terrace Bay Town Council to use the Tourist Information Centre as a base to collect tin and pop cans for recycling. The group hopes people will clean and save their cans, and then drop them off at the centre every second Saturday of the month, beginning Nov. 9. "We're hoping to get some blue bins for the cans," said E.A.G.E.R. contact Tanice Marcella Small. "And we'd prefer it if people could clean the cans and take the labels off." Marcella-Small said the tin can recycling program is a restart of sorts for the group, which pre- viously tried to start a newspaper recycling program, without suc- cess. "Last time, people were talk- ing about how they should spend the money they were going to get from recycling, and that sort of remove the labels as well. . Organizers ask that anyone dropping off their cans wash them first and, if possible, an interview it has ben a success. "We have a pop machine here, and people are also bringing in their cans from home," she said. "We have depots set up around the property, and when they're full, we throw the bags into the landfill outside, where we keep the scrap metal." Randel said at least two full bags of cans are collected each week. "We've collected over three hundred pounds of metal so far." They accepts soup and other kinds of cans, as well as pop cans, Randel said. The important thing, Marcella- Small said, is to get this program running without spending any money. "If we can get this going with- out expense, we're going to try and get funding for a newsprint program." The money would be used to transport newsprint to a drop off bin in Marathon. Marcella-Small said E.A.G.E.R. hopes to start the newsprint program by next sum- mer. Anyone wishing to volunteer to thing," she said.
