“Everything we pick up today will be counted and weighed,” said group spokesperson Laura Wood. “We sort the items into recyclable and non-recyclable. If it’s recyclable, it gets recycled here. All the cigarette butts are then shipped to TerraCycle.” The United States-based company, which has a facility in Fergus, offers free recycling programs that are funded by brands, manufacturers and retailers to help divert hard-to-recycle waste from landfill.
