Wednesday, July 21, 1999 — North Shore News — 19 Gram WaS @ SUCCESS of all other municipalities in the GVRD. Approximately Recycling education pre BUILDING managers, Strata owners and resi- family units have either multi- material recycling or at least newspaper recycling in place. Shore are included in the Blue Box/Yellow Bag recycling pro- gram and over 95% of the base which designs and delivers educational programs. 100% of the 40,090 single carts are plastic film bays and misplaced recyclables. Throughout the study the dent managers are get- ting a whole lot of tips on reducing garbage. The North Shore Recycling Program (NSRP) recently teamed up with the Eco-Ed Provincial Government's pro- gram to hire two Environment Youth Team members to design the Multi-Family Recycling Education project. _ The team aimed at educat- ing rnulti-family building man- agers about the new initiatives, including the expanded recy- cling program, newspaper and office paper bans and the bot- tle deposit legislation. Two youths headed out and proviced education to North Shore building man- agers, strata owners and other on-site contacts. They visited over 200 sites and evaluated the new three cart recycling program that now lets resi- dents recycle more plastics and mixed paper right at the curb- Side. In addition, the youths brainstormed with building managers to eliminate recy- cling barriers and provided tips on how to encourage residents to recycle correctly. “This project has been extremely successful,” says Al Lynch, NSRP Manager, “Building managers have appreciated the educational tips and the one-on-one train- ing. They are able to take this information to educate their own residents and then subse- quently see a real difference right in their own recycling carts.” The team also looked at how well apartment, condo and townhouse dwellers are recycling. It was found that thar the highest evel of conta- minants being piaced into the team reported that some resi- dents were doing a tremen- dous job at washing and preparing their containers and then placing them into the wrong cart. Residents are encouraged to look at the signs on the carts, review their brochures and to remember that “Recycling Right” makes all the difference.

Its goal is to reduce solid waste by 50% per capita by the year 2000 (based on 1990 levels). The North Shore tas a long history of recycling. Prior to the establishment of the NSRP, the North Shore was one of the first areas in the Lower Mainland to recycle newspa- per. In 1989, the three North Shore municipalities decided to start a joint recycling pro- and share the costs. In carly 1990, International Paper Industries (IPI) was awarded the contract to provide recy- cling collection sezvices to the North Shore. Since 1990, the WSRP has implemented a number of new recycling pro- grams, most recently in 1998 with the inception of the expanded curbside and multi- family residential programs.
