The award honours the City and its residents for the consistently high quality and continuous supply of old newspaper being recycled. It recognizes the diligence of Vancouver residents for regularly sorting their household recyclables properly, and keeping contamination levels (incorrect materials) very low. The City of Vancouver's blue box and apartment recycling programs generate about 12,000 metric tonnes of old newspapers every year for recycling. These newspapers go to Canadian Fibre, who sort it as required and send it to the NorskeCanada recycling plant in Coquitlam. Staff from NorskeCanada, the City's Solid Waste Division and Canadian Fibre will be available outside the Council Chamber after the award to answer questions. For more information: |
