recycle depot

Swift Current's Recycle Depot is getting a $150,000 face lift.

Director of Engineering Mac Forster said they hope it leads to more traffic, “One of the biggest objectives is to divert materials from our landfills so the better off we can make this recycling facility, the more efficient, we'll be exploring markets and ways of handling materials as we move forward.”

Forster explained some of the expected upgrades,  “asphalt paving, paving the area, the bins will be placed on crushed rock with some proper pathways between the bins to access the bins themselves, new fencing around the perimeter, and the building itself will get a face lift so it will look like much more professional style recycle center.”

“The better the service that we can offer I hope that will entice the public to come down and use it.”, Mac Forster added when discussing the importance of the upgrades.

The cost is covered by the increase from $1 to $4 in the monthly recycling charge on our utility bills.
