Canada Games Recycling: Leaving a Legacy

In December 2014, Multi-Material BC (MMBC) was announced as an official sponsor of the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George, BC. MMBC is providing 550 receptacles to be used to collect recycling between February 13 and March 1. After the games, the receptacles will be provided to Emterra Environmental to use to collect recycling from the 4,300 multi-family units in Prince George. Emterra is the company that collects recycling at curbside from Prince George households as part of the MMBC packaging and printed paper recycling program.

Providing multi-family recycling collection in Prince George has always been part of MMBC’s plan and pairing with the Games allows MMBC to support recycling at an important community event, and enables the Games to leave a legacy for Prince George residents.

Strata councils and building owners seeking additional information about the service in Prince George can contact Emterra directly at 250-596-8023.

We are grateful to live, work, and be in relation with First Nation and other Indigenous people from across many traditional and unceded territories, covering all regions of British Columbia. We value the opportunity to learn and share experiences on this traditional territory. The Indigenous communities were the original stewards of the environment, and they continue to fulfill that role today. We are proud to both collaborate with First Nations as well as commit to that work ourselves.
