Reminder: Plastic Recycling collection in Kits Thursday Jan 19

This is a reminder that Kits Village is arranging a plastic recycling collection on Thursday January 19. The collection will take place at Mary’s place from 6:30-8:30pm (exact address and directions will be sent out to those who RSVP). There will be a Kits Village neighbourhood potluck the same evening starting at 6:30pm. Please come by and drop off your plastics and/or share a meal with neighbours.

I have attached an information sheet which explains the type of plastics we will accept. Basically, focus on plastic items that cannot be recycled through the city program. Vancouver City currently only accepts plastics #1 and #2 as far as I know. All plastics have to be clean and dry and sorted (or at least easy to separate). The cost per person will depend on how many people participate and how much plastics we collect, but will range from $2-5.

Please RSVP by sending an e-mail to hansen@zoology.ubc.ca ASAP. Include an estimate of how much plastics you will contribute, i.e. less than half a garbage bag, half a garbage bag, a full garbage bag or more than a garbage bag. Feel free to pass this message on to others who may be interested. Also, don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

Thanks,

Malin
