10 - Friday, May 11, 1990 - North Shore News Pitch-in and r THE FOCUS of ‘“‘Pitch-In’? Week has changed dramatical- ly since I was first introduced to the event in elementary school. Back then, ‘‘pitching-in’’ meant going on nature walks and tossing discarded rubbish into the nearest garbage can. Today, where we are pitching our refuse has become our major concern, and garbage cans don’t even make the top 10 when it comes to a list of preferred desti- nations. Now, “‘pitching-in’’ means do- ing our bit to reduce the waste flow by reducing, reusing and, fi- nally, recycling. Many North Shore residents have already become familiar with the location of various depots and are rechanelling much of their material in their direction. There are, however, obstacles encountered by households wan- ting to recycle their goods. First, many recyclable materials aren’t accepted by our local depots. Se- cond, some people still aren’t motivated enough to separate, store and transport their waste. Fortunately, there is a non- profit company called Cemmunity Re-Psychling that is guaranteed to sweep away all your recycling blues. For only $5 a visit, a driver will visit your home and pick up almost all your recyclables, in- cluding plastics and office paper. Briefly, here is what the com- pany will collect and how they like it sorted and prepared: © Glass: Do not break. Wash well, leave on caps and labels, put all colors together in a cardboard box. © Tin cans: Rinse, peel off labels (easy), remove both ends, flatten and bag. ¢ Aluminum: Rinse, flatten. In- cludes beverage containers, alumi- num foil, pie plates, etc. Store in bag. © Plastics: Must be separated into rigid plastics (i.e. washed milk jugs, yogurt containers, which are dried and stacked) and soft plastics (bags, wraps, etc.) that are cleaned and stuffed tightly into a plastic bag. © Paper: Box if at all possible, bag when necessary. NO carbon paper, tissue paper, construction paper or giftwrap are accepted, but here’s what is: 1. Newspapers, non-glossy fliers, telephone books with spines removed. 2. Magazines and glossy fliers. 3. Bleached white paper and white paper with black ink, including computer and photocopy paper — put flat, not scrunched, into box or bag. 4. Colored ledger paper — in- cluding white paper with colored ink, such as looseleaf. 5. Pressed board, including cereal boxes, toilet paper tubes, note pad backing, etc. Flatten and box or bag. No waxed containers such as juice or milk boxes. 6. Cardboard, including cor- rugated, and brown paper bags. Obviously, your first priority is to reduce and reuse these materials, but if the time comes to recycle, Community Re-Psychling, under the leadership of Edward Moore, is a real help.

Plastic, glass and high-grade paper is currently being stored by the company, as Moore hopes to establish a recycling factory within the next year. Newspaper is do- nated to a local company and Eco Info Peggy Trendell-Whittaker ee cardboard is sold. Between the pick-up fees and the money raised from selling the cardboard, the company is break- ing even. When Moore gets his other activities under way, he will be turning the resulting profits over to community and en- vironmental groups. Community Re-Psychling picks up once every four weeks from homes and as often as necessary for businesses, at a negotiated rate.
