reporter

THE GREATER Vancouver Regional District is pres-
ently exploring the possibility of a Lower Mainland-wide
recycling program. Under such a program, items to be
recycled would include not only newspapers and paper
products, but also other commonly disposed of house-
hold goods such as glass and metal. In Switzertand, for

instance, 2 country-wide recycling program has proven
successful, with conveniently located bins making it easy
for homeowners to participate in the initiative. As such a
program here would involve the cuoperation of residents,
Inquiring Reporter asked if people would be willing to
support such an endeavor by separating waste items.

Would you support recycling program?

Marie Roulleau

North Vancouver

I already separate my
garbage, recycle newspa-
per and compost kitchen
waste, making a small
amount thrown out, I'd
like to see more people do

Erin Arnott

North Vancouver
Definitely. You would
have one bag for glass,
one bag for paper, one
bag for garbage and a
compost in the garden.
It’s a good idea.

Sheri Patis

North Vancouver

Yes. We were doing this
in California, and_ it’s
that much more work. If
they could pick it up as
they do with the papers it
would be good.

Brett Atkins

Burnaby

It would probably be a
hassle for most people,
but those who cooperate
would benefit society. I'd
stop if I couldn’t see it
doing any good.

Jason Wilks

North Vancouver

I would. It would save
people and stores money,
and taxpayers wouldn't
have to pay for garbage
collection. If people don't
want to they won't.
