The final piece of the puzzle in the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission's new recycling program will arrive by next Wednesday. A sorting conveyor will arrive in four parts beginning Monday for a new material recovery facility. General Manager Mark MacLeod tells CHSJ news the building will be for sorting and baling recyclables from the blue bins.
MacLeod says they are already seeing an increase in recycled materials since stream-lining their system to accept plastic, metal and milk cartons in the same blue bin. Construction of the sorting facility will begin Wednesday and table about one week to complete. MacLeod says it will be fully up and running by the end of November, and it will be large enough to accept twice as many recyclables as it currently accepts.
