Large portion of Lacombe recyclables ending up in the landfill
Changes are coming to the way Lacombe residents recycle.
The City of Lacombe revealed in a release this week that as it turns out, a portion of the items citizens have been recycling is still ending up in the landfill.
“Our recycling contractor (E360S, previously CanPak) has advised the City that due to the challenges faced by the recycling industry nation-wide, only a fraction of the materials currently placed in residential blue bins is actually recycled, and that significant changes are needed to Lacombe’s residential recycling program if it is to continue,” the release states.
