September 17/2008 New London recycling yard touted as wave of futureBy HANK DANISZEWSKI Wed, September 17, 2008 Try Recycling was hailed yesterday as an industry leader in Ontario at the official opening of its new facility in south London. Ontario Environment Minister John Gerretsen said the 16.2-hectare facility would serve as a model for industrial, commercial and household recycling. With a six-metre pile of wood pallets as a backdrop, Gerretsen said the Try Recycling yard is an example of a new attitude to recycling. "Until recently, it didn't pay to do anything other than landfill material. We have got to turn that around." Try Recycling president Jim Graham said 94 per cent of the material received will be recycled into usable products. The company opened its first recycling yard on Clarke Road in 1991. The new yard in south London took five years of planning, including tours of recycling operations across North America. The recycling of construction and industrial waste is a huge step toward waste diversion, Graham said. Recycling the shingles from one roofing job is equivalent to the waste diversion from 256 household blue boxes, he said. "This will raise the bar for recycling in Ontario." Rob Cook, president of the Ontario Waste Management Association, said the new facility will divert waste now shipped to Michigan. The $2-million facility is located on Dingman Drive near the junction of highways 401 and 402. The yard has separate lanes and dumping areas for residential and industrial- commercial customers and features landscaped ponds and gardens and extensive tree planting. |
