Listen In Folks - Raven Willing to Wait to Close Public Drop-Off until City has Curbside Recycling Program

Here are the highlights:
“Raven Recentre will keep its public drop off open while the budget is read and voted on; which we understand to take plan in January or February. Should the blue bin budget vote not pass, we will go back to closing the public drop-off immediately. If the vote passes, we will work with the City to ensure there is no gap in service while they work to get their system up and running. We recognize it’s going to take some time. We don’t want the term for this mayor and council to end without some action being taken on this issue. We have to do our part to keep the Whitehorse population recycling.
We’re willing to extend
for a period of time
in hopes that things
will move in the direction
that they desperately need to.”
- Jacqueline Bedard, Raven Board Member
