In collaboration with Earthub founder, Brittanny Belanger, our Association President, Katherine Woodward has implemented a new community recycling program. Just drop off any of the following items in one of the labelled bins outside the Corkery Community Centre door.
Collection Items:
- Prescription pill bottles (used as medical supplies at a disaster relief organization)
- Used mascara wands (used as brushes on tiny animals at a wildlife refuge)
- Egg cartons (given to a local farmer or food bank)
- 4L plastic milk bags (used to make milk bag mats for homeless veterans)
- Aluminium pop cans (donated to Empties for Paws)
- Used/broken/single use crayons (melted down again and donated to low income communities or schools)
- Used plastic juice pouches(donated to “Eco West Enders” of Stittsville-Ottawa)
**ALL ITEMS MUST BE CLEAN PRIOR TO DONATION (pill bottles must have labels and residue removed, only mascara wands are to be donated, not the entire container).
