recycle, use recycled products: and
reduce their. garbage, said. North
Shore Recycling’s community pro-
grams coordinator | Helene
Kraushaar.

She said the pilot project is
unique among - Lower. Mainland
municipalities.

“Its in its. infancy everywhere
but what I'd like to sce is us be lead-
ers on the: North Shore,” Kraushaar
said. i

Although most businesses inter-
ested in joining the project sincere-
ly support the, project's goals, an
incentive system may also be used,
she said. :

' Businesses who go green may
receive recognition that will be visi-
ble to customers.

’ And with an NSRP survey indi-
cating 90% of residents would shop
ata store that recycles rather than at

“one that doesn’t, the ‘bottom ‘line

id a NSRP press release. .
Trained volunteers will visit
stores to assist them with recycling
ideas and answer questions.
Before the project began in early

_ April. a questionnaire helped deter-

inine the types of garbage generated
by the businesses and a meeting was
held with interested businesses in
the area.

Recycling companies are setting
up recycling containers at small,

businesses this week, — said
Kraushaar.

Currently, 55 businesses in the |
area have signed on for the pro-
gram, but she expects more will par.
ticipate.

If the pilot project proves suc-

 cess(ul in Edgemont Village. it will

be extended to other areas onthe
North Shore.

' Kraushaar said that in the future
a disposal ban will prevent people
and . businesses throwing away
newspaper, wood and corrugated
paper. The NSRP wants to educate
businesses on recycling possibilities
before it becomes mandatory.
