TERRACE — Overwaitea
Faods will soon be shipping us-
ed paper bags from.its northern
stores to a Prince George pulp
mill for recycling.

The company now ships the

bags to a Vancouver Island pulp
mill but keeping. them in nor-
thern B.C. at Canfor’s Prince
George mill will be cheaper,
says Overwaitea spokesman
Dennis Kinsey. :

He expected the shipments to
the mill to. begin as soon as
Overwaitea establishes its own
collection . and transportation
system.

Kinsey said it makes sense for

recycling efforts to take place as
close to their origination point
as possible.

In the meantime, plastic bags
collected at Overwaitea stores
will continue to be shipped to
the lower mainland where they

are turned into pellets and then -

converted back into bags.
‘And, Kinsey adds: .
e Overwaitea collects . 1.5

snillion plastic bags and 200,000 "
. paper bags every three months.
