Recycling bins were delivered last week to 46 community centre sites and 17 City recreation facilities, such as Pan Am Pool, Sargent Park Recreation Complex and St. James Civic Centre. Similar to the apartment recycling program, three types of materials can be recycled – paper products, containers and glass. The program is funded by the Manitoba Product Stewardship Corporation, the City of Winnipeg and the sale of recyclable materials.

Marlene Amell, Executive Director with General Council of Winnipeg Community Centres says, “We are pleased that community centres have the opportunity to participate in the City of Winnipeg’s recycling program. Those Centres who participate will also benefit by reducing their garbage collection costs.”
