A jerrycan, seen here in the plastics recycling bin, should go to a landfill because it contains hazardous material.

Water softener salt does not belong in a recycling bin, especially one for tin. This, as well as other garbage in the recycling bins, puts our recycling program at risk of becoming cancelled.

Glass should not go to the recycling bins as Red Coat has no way of taking care of them. To recycle glass, take it to SARCAN.

This is one of the three bags Crown Shred & Recycling brought to the meeting to show people exactly what ended up in our recycling bins. Red Coat picked up this garbage out of the bins on Kipling’s recycling route on May 12.

Recycling program could be as good as garbage
By Lizz Bottrell, Citizen Staff

Red Coat Waste Authority’s newly resumed collection of plastic and tin for recycling could soon end up back in the landfill if everyone does not start using the program properly. Since Red Coat reinstated its collection of plastic and tin on April 1, many of the bins have been overflowing with unacceptable contaminates, or in other words, garbage.

We live in a world in which television programs feature the activities of people whose lives are filled with activity and adventure. Our favorite programs are filled with movies heroes or heroines who accomplish difficult and dangerous missions. After watching this type of program, our own lives can seem small and limited. The same thing can happen, I believe, as we read accounts in the Bible of the heroes and heroines of our faith. If you turn to the book of Hebrews, chapter eleven, you will find a listing of some of these people and their accomplishments. By faith, Noah built an ark and saved his family from the flood to come. By faith Abraham, in his elderly years traveled to the Promised Land. By faith, Moses led the people of Israel from captivity in Egypt.

Have you ever wondered what goes on the imaginative minds of our young people? Their ideas and creative sayings that not even the funniest comedian could come up with.

I’m talking about the small children, the ones that tell the truth no matter how good, bad or necessary it may be! I find it amusing to listen to the stories told by kids, the way they express themselves and try to detail their story, the laughter sometimes turns to tears.

The residents of Kipling, and the surrounding areas, have given The Citizen ideas towards making a column for the kids. We want to hear about the quirky and fascinating ideas and thoughts that come from our young people.

We are also looking for some fun, entertaining and heartfelt news from people in the community, and would love to hear from you!

Sometime during the weekend of May 3rd and 4th, the Redvers Activity Centre’s greenhouse was vandalized. Vandals threw a rock into the side of the plastic canvas wall, causing a hole and an unsustainable environment for the flowers that are grown inside. The Activity Centre grows flowers for the community flowerbeds and gardens, which are now at risk of dying.
