Kenora City Council has laid the groundwork for a deal with the City of Dryden to haul its recyclables to Winnipeg.The city is getting funding from the Continuous Improvement Fund to help puchase a truck which will haul recyclables from both communities.
Operations manager Rick Perchuck says if the system proves effective, its possible they could come to similar agreements with other communities in the region such as Red Lake and Fort Frances.
Under the agreement, the City of Kenora will send a truck to Dryden twice a week to pick up recyclables.
The other three days a week, the truck will be used to take Kenora's recycling to Winnipeg.
