The R.M. would like to thank residents for their continued cooperation with recycling. Recycling numbers continue to rise in our municipality showing that residents do care about the environment and we truly appreciate these efforts. Everyone is doing a great job and we hope to see numbers rise even more.
A great resource of information on recycling can be found at Simply Recycle. If you are unsure of what items you can recycle, go to Recyclepedia. If you bring your recycling in a plastic bag, please empty the items from the bag and continue re-using your bags.
