Kenora and Dryden could soon be teaming up in a bid to reduce recycling costs.
The city is planning to buy a transport truck which would haul recyclables from Kenora
a couple of times a week, and two times a week from Dryden.
The Solid Waste Department is eligible for 80 thousand dollars in funding from Waste Diversion
Ontario for the purchase of the truck.
Operations manager Rick Perchuck says they can reduce their costs by doing doing the
hauling themselves instead of contracting it out.
The City of Dryden still has to come to an agreement with Kenora to share the costs of
hauling the recyclables.
The city estimates it will be able to save about 35 thousand dollars a year by doing its
own hauling.
