municipalities’ Nerth Shore
Recycling Program will be deliver-
ing a reusable, plasticized blue
recycling bag to every apartment
dweller in North Vancouver City,
North Vancouver District and
West Vancouver.

Program pioneered widespread
recycling collection and pick-up
from apartment builcings when it
began its multi-family recycling
program in November 1990.

Currently, about 91% of the
North Shore’s multi-family build-

municipal service, which is
thought to be the highest coverage
west of Toronto.

now being delivered are used for
storing recyclables. and carrying
them to the apartment building’s
centrat recycling bins.

The bags can also be used to
bring groceries home, thereby cut-
ting down on disposable plastic or
paper bags.

A pilot study undertaken in the
-summer of 1990 indicated that the

apartment dwellers with the most
