All the materials go through Kitimat and shipped via contained barge down to Vancouver, where it is distributed to markets ail aver the world. . Says Rod Lotzkar, “Much of the newsprint and cardboard is exported to Korea and Taiwan, where it is reprocessed and used to make anything from shoeboxes to cereal containers to building material.” He adds that B.C. paper products have a high market value on the recycling side of the business because the paper has very strong cellulose fibers. and only goes through one initial manufacturing process. The recycling depot is spongored.by the Terrace Community Services organization, a non-profit society that also sponsors & number of other community related projects in the Terrace area. A Canada Works grant from the federal _ government is providing funding for the renovation of the depat centre, and as well, for the construction of new- dropoff boxes that will-be located around town. © : The grant also provides money for the hiring of three employees that. will be working at the depot for the next 12 weeks.
