Recycle Plus Task Force

 

Advanced Management Ltd. has been contracted by Recycle Plus to develop a business plan for the purpose of constructing a new Materials Recycling Facility.  Recycle Plus has partnered with the City of Grande Prairie, the County of Grande Prairie, and the PRRD (Peace River Regional District – northern BC) to examine the practicality and feasibility of implementing this initiative.
 
It is our intention to present to the task force a long term, a sustainable recycling strategy that will outline potential recyclable diversions as well as recommend a cost effective means of collection and processing.
 
Each partner has unique characteristics however shares a common goal of reducing our carbon footprint by keeping recyclables out of the landfills.  This partnership will work together to gather information, examine best practices and make recommendations to meet common goals.
 
A time line has been established to complete each phase of the Business Plan and we anticipate a Final Report and Recommendations to be available by February 2010.  Based on our findings, Recycle Plus will be seeking long term commitments and assistance by our municipal partners in the application of provincial and/or federal grants that may be available for this type of project.
