ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Recycle and 'upcycle' comes to Prince Rupert

Include Canada (English) Febreze Air and Home Care Brigade Febreze Frenzy contest
Being green on the North Coast just got a little easier. The Discovery Child Care Centre on Prince Rupert Boulevard is now a designated drop-off point for people to leave recyclables that are made of mixed plastics, which require expensive recycling methods. The North Coast, among other regions in Canada, doesn’t have the infrastructure to recycle these plastics so they end up in the landfill. For 10 years the daycare centre has participated with competitions organized by TerraCycle, an international recycling company that works with over 100 brands. The competitions are based on what companies are willing to sponsor and participants, such as the child care centre, get money for every item they return.
