http://zerowastevancouver.blogspot.com/2013/10/this-is-what-recycling-looks-like-in.html
Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Monday, October 14, 2013. This is what recycling looks like in Vancouver. What is this all about? One visitor to the blog recognized the plant in this video clip. S/he pointed out that this plant is not sorting materials collected in the City of Vancouver. The recycling plant pictured here sorts materials from the growing number of cities in our region (and across North America) that offer single stream recycling. Are never going to be convinc...

We'll be there tomorrow when the Metro Waste Committee holds its monthly meeting (12 - 4 pm, second floor Boardroom 4330 Kingsway).

Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. The Blue Box Conspiracy - read it now. THE BLUE BOX ON YOUR FRONT PORCH WASN'T DREAMED UP by government officials. Or inspired by grassroots environmentalists. The soft drink industry and its packaging suppliers brought in the Blue Box to serve a common corporate agenda.". These are the opening words of an heretical article by a Canadian who knows his stuff (Guy Crittenden, editor of. Solid Waste and Recycling. The b...

Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Monday, October 10, 2011. Let's give our recyclers resources instead of garbage. Last week I joined a small group of Port Moody citizens on a tour of Emterra, a local company that sorts the materials collected in single-stream" recycling programs. It was a very sad experience.

Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Thursday, October 25, 2012. Good reporting by Jeff Nagel. Hats off to Jeff Nagel of Black Press who continues to dog Metro Vancouver's waste activities, including this embarrassing disclosure. That the new operator of the Burnaby incinerator (Covanta) let cadmium levels go way up and never bothered to report them to Metro Vancouver. I wonder if any cadmium got in the carrots in my backyard. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Instead, an organization...
