_Truhn, 29, started Do Your *

early May — it’s the only ser-

Clients only need to wash.

company. The two young
‘women then - collect,

sort
and, when they've got a full

- load, drop the goods off at

the appropriate recycling de-
pots throughout the region.
_ Pick-ups are every month
or two weeks depending on
the neighbourhood. -

The new. business owners

emphasize Do Your Part is a:
_ company, not a not-for-prof- °
* it, but they are motivated by’
~. much more than money.

“T-have” two kids I’m
bringing into the world and

I want'to teach them to val-
" ue the planet and not think

space is unlimited. We need

to make a difference in the -

world,” Truhn said.
“Everybody’s got to con-

ing mine,” Lewis said...
Recycling. should be sec-

‘their service is in demand.

“It’s. about time,” has

‘been. the most common re-, .
action,’ ” Lewis said. »

Sidewalkers’ “owner Lori
Merrill actually bowed to

the girls when they came

into her shop to promote
their services. |

Truhn thinks most Terra-’
cites fail to recycle now due 7
to unawareness.

“People in Terrace re- -
ally don’t know what can be
recycled. People here have, |
never. had-a recycling pro-, -

“People should be able to re-
cycle about 50 to 75 per cent -
of their, waste.” ;
‘Since the "80s, various
recycling depots have come
‘and gone in Terrace, with
most closing for financial .
reasons. _
‘Locals can return some ff
‘recyclables to grocery stores
and the Retum-It-Centre -

town offers to collect.
City planner David Block .
explained Terrace has looked -

cling, but would have to in-'
crease taxes to subsidize the
Service.

Workers have gone in and dug ditches alongside the sec--
