22 - Friday. May 8, 1992 — North Shore News ENVIRONMENT Groups planning Paper Fair Peggy Trendeli-Whittaker AN ALL YE hoarders of paper, take heed: the North Shore’s second (annual?) Recycling Paper Fair is almost at hand. The North Shore Green Team has received funds from En- vironment Canada that will allow the Green Team and the North Shore Recycling Program to or- ganize a one-day Paper Fair on Sunday, June 7, in honor of En- vironment Week. Committed environmentalists on- the North Shore will recall the mixed paper drop-off that the recycling program held at Park Royal last fall. Our 20-foot bin filled up before the first day was over. The five- ton truck we rented to hold the next day’s paper offerings was full by five o’clock Sunday. In all, we collected 13 tonnes of paper and none of us who were involved ever —- EVER — wanted to do anything like it again. So here we are, doing it again. Except this time it'll be even bet- ter, for the participants as wel! as the organizers. For one thing, we know what volumes to expect and will have enough Oins on-site. And this time around, we’re even providing education and entertainment, all based on the ‘‘paper’’ theme. Imagination Market will be there in the afternoon, hosting a hat-making workshop using paper and other decorative scraps that are leftovers from businesses and industries. A local paper-maker will be demonstrating her art, showing how you can re-craft old paper into new, and giving out instruc- tions so people can try it themselves at home. And, once again, International Everything you need is here... ECO INFO Paper Industries Ltd. will pick up. the collected paper and market it overseas to be recycled into heavy-duty paper products used in the construction industry. This is good news for all you frustrated mixed paper recyclers who have nowhere to take your cache. I checked in with the North Shore’s Richard Hardy, who works at Paperboard Industries overtown, to see if mixed paper’s market situation is stil as grim as ever. It is. Paperboard no longer accepts mixed waste from the public, because it has a two- to three- year supply already stockpiled. Paperboard’s mill turns mixed paper waste into thick, absorbent roofing felt, but as Hardy says, ‘there’s only so much roofing paper that you need.” However, Paperboard does have hundreds of office paper collec- tion programs running, including the one at the North Skore News, and will pay you for the paper you drop off at their plant at 85 West Ist Ave. in Vancouver. It pays $5 per tonne for newsprint. $40 per tonne for cor- rugated cardboard, $20 per tonne for colored ledger paper, $60 per tonne for white ledger, and $170 per tonne for computer paper. If you choose not to separate your computer, white and colored ledger paper, you'll be paid $20 a tonne for your co-mingled office paper. For more information about Paperboard Industries paper recycling program, call 875-1635. And remember, you can recycle your phone books on the North Shore until Aug. 15. From now until then, you'll find telephone book recycling bins in the parking lots of most North and West Vancouver Safeway stores (excluding Caulfeild’s Someplace Special, but including Woodward's World of Food in Park Royal). They accept yellow, white or pink pages. B.C. Tel informs me that white page delivery on the North Shore starts around June 8, so that’s a good time to offer to pick up your neighbors’ old phone books and deliver them for recycl- ing yourself. If you’ve got corrugated | card- board to get rid of, it can be recycled at the North Shore Transfer Station on Riverside Drive, which is open every day of - the year. And start saving your glossy paper, cereal boxes, magazines and packaging paver for the Paper Recycling Fair on June 7. While a location has yet to be finalized, it will likely be held off West Vancouver’s Marine Drive, near the SPCA building that’s be- tween Park Royal and Ambleside Park.
