The REDcycle bin collects all the soft plastics that you can’t put in the yellow bin such as bread bags, biscuit packets, frozen food bags, rice and pasta bags, confectionery packets, newspaper wrap, plastic shopping bags and old green bags
The processed materials get converted into outdoor furniture and signage for schools and communities by program partner Replas. It works likes this:
1. YOU COLLECT - Collect all the soft plastics that you can't recycle at home:
2. YOU DROP - Drop them into the REDcycle collection bin at Toronto Coles
3. REDcycle RECYCLES - Your packaging gets recycled into outdoor furniture for schools and communities.
TASNG Update
The Toronto Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group has been meeting monthly, developing projects and applying for funding in partnership with local groups in the recent round of Clubs Grants. An application was submitted with Toronto Tidy Towns for Stage 2 of the Tossers Can Be Binners project which plans for signage, bins and publicity to discourage littering from fast food outlets.
Funding was also sought to enhance pedestrian egress and safety along Brighton Avenue between Ambrose and Jarret Streets and around the Amelia St bends through a collaborative partnership with LMCC and CPPA.
The community garden at The Hub is still humming along with lots of hands-on projects on the to-do list meeting regularly at the Hub on the 1st Saturday of the month from10am-2pm. Their Facebook page has lots of interesting gardening ideas and updates on current projects.
