Recyclables to stay in Iqaluit

The council decided not to ship four sea cans containing bailed recyclable materials from Iqaluit to Haycore Canada Inc. in Drummondville, Quebec, at a cost of $15,787.40. Instead, the council decided to stockpile the containers “for future decision.”

At the same time, the council decided to spend up to $10,000 to bring in a consultant to conduct hazardous waste training for staff.

The training will coincide with the household hazardous waste collection during Iqaluit’s new “Waste Reduction Week,” from Oct. 18 to 24.
