Coronavirus: More Montreal communities adopting PPE recycling

TerraCycle Include Canada (English) ZWB PPE Recycling
Two more Montreal-area communities are making it easier to recycle personal protective equipment. Authorities in the cities of Vaudreuil-Dorion and Pointe-Claire have set up boxes at various locations where people can drop off the items. Officials in both cities say it's about time. "I have noticed masks lying in the street and like the volume just went up, right," Judith Largy-Nadeau, Vaudreuil-Dorion's environmental advisor noted. "People using them and just disposing of them wherever they can. We thought this would be a good opportunity to send them somewhere else where they can be reused instead." In that city, only disposable masks are being collected for now whereas, in Pointe-Claire, residents can drop off masks, safety glasses and earplugs.
