Recycling Program Started Last week's newspaper will become become tomorrow's headlines when a curbside recycling program for newsprint begins in Bowmanville on Monday, September 24. The project, which was endorsed by town council this month, will allow householders to place their newspapers at the curb with their regular household garbage.

She explained that staff from the recycling centre will follow the regular regular garbage collection route to pick up newspapers in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. Durham Recycling Centre has been operating in Oshawa for the last three full years and it expects to collect between 12,000 to 13,000 tons of waste paper this year in Oshawa. "Every ton of paper we recycle saves 20 trees," explains Glenda. Asrd during the last fiscal year, the recycling centre estimates it has collected enough waste paper to save 20:000 trees. For the taxpayer, recycling trims costs which would otherwise have to be paid for burying newsprint in landfill sites. A non-profit organization, Durham Recycling Centre employs six full-time staff and one part-time worker. The addition of Bowmanville Bowmanville to the pick-up route has created an additional job for a Bowmanville Bowmanville resident. Paper is sold to a St. Catharines firm which de-inks the newsprint, adds raw pulp, and recycles old newsprint into new. The recycling centre will also be operating a reclaim program for high grade paper from businesses in Bowmanville.

The spokesman for the recycling centre added that paper drives which have traditionally been a source of fund-raising for community community groups won't be harmed by the program of curbside collection. Experience in Oshawa suggests that only 30 to 40 per cent of all available available paper is collected by the Durham Recycling Centre. "There's lots of paper available for fundraising," fundraising," she said. The Centre finds that when the entire community participates in a recycling program, paper drives for fund-raising projects actually actually report greater success. "There are advantages from a lot of different perspectives for doing this prograp," said Glenda Gies.
