I heard from reliable sources that Thunder bay is in need of a facility that could process non recyclable food waste. Currently it is being disposed of in the local land fill.
There is also a big need for a way to recycle waxed card board and no pick up service is in place for of commercial recyclables, especially from restaurants so most of the stuff goes into their garbage bin. One manager from Boston Pizza told me that there used to be a recycling drop off center in town but closed years ago. He said that they don't have time to drive the distance to a place he thinks takes is about 20 min away.
That being said, the flip side is there is a lot of great things that local businesses are doing on their own to recycle there waste. We need more big businesses to take time out to recycle.
