Don’t count Renfrew out on a municipal Recycling partnership with neighbours McNab-Braeside and Arnprior.
Reeve Peter Emon spoke to myFM on the topic following Tuesday’s (the October 22nd) Town Council meeting.
The issue of sending recycling materials to the Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre (OVWRC) in Pembroke has been discussed at municipal councils in both Arnprior and McNab-Braeside- but how to get those materials there has not been solved as yet.
Emon says a complicating factor is Ontario’s decision to transfer responsibility for recyclables from municipal shoulders to the backs of producers means the OVWRC solution itself will only be a temporary fix.
An existing interim arrangement with Topps Environmental Solutions of Carleton Place can be extended month-to-month after the initial deal expires in January.
