You can help improve Thompson’s recycling rates.

The Canadian Beverage Container Recycling Association operates the Recycle Everywhere program. It’s a not-for-profit industry funded organization, whose members include beverage brand owners and distributors.

Their Senior Outreach Coordinator Melissa Dorota says the association is committed to reaching the government mandated target of recovering 75% of beverage containers sold in Manitoba.

Dorota adds recycling recovery rates continue to improve reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enabling new products to be made, and reducing litter.

Businesses can call the City of Thompson at 677-7970 to get a bin while supplies last.
