These are a few of the services that Members of Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling receive:

Collection Calendars
We design and issue yearly collection calendars, which are specific to each municipality. Our calendars also provide quick reference to recycling procedures and collection days.

Speaking Engagements
Often, we are asked to attend schools and talk about recycling. We bring examples of recycled materials to show the entire process from blue-box to recycled product. BASWR also receives numerous busloads of students during the school year at our facility for tours.

Special Events
In late September every year, BASWR will be conducting our " Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive” of which residents will simply place their donation by their blue-box for collection. As we service residents on a door to door basis, we think that this will be an excellent method of assisting the needy. Our staff is very excited about this program which will no doubt become an annual event. We have attached an information sheet outlining this event for your review in this package. Staff and recycle trucks are also available for your fair, parade, or any organized event.

 

Specialized Collections
Our I.C.I. (Industrial Commercial Institutions) and apartment customers require special containers for the high volumes of material they often generate. These containers are also utilized for seasonal collection points such as campgrounds and other tourist areas. BASWR has retrofitted all of our collection vehicles to be able to lift and empty 95 and 68-gallon containers. We also deliver these containers to those who require them along with labels for proper usage.

 

Types of Service
BASWR can assist you in identifying the type of service, or combination of services that best meet your needs.

For rural areas, depot systems are a popular and cost effective method of waste diversion. But BASWR can take depot systems to another level by placing “drop points” at alternate locations besides the closest landfill site. This can allow people to recycle easier and not have to travel as far to deliver their materials.

Of course, our more urban areas receive curbside collection. Our collection staff deliver excellent customer service to the residents they collect. Areas are routed for collection and constantly updated to ensure efficient and complete collection in each municipality.

We cater to the needs of apartment dwellers and commercial establishments by delivering containers and scheduling collections that suit their requirements. Containers are sold at cost to those who require them.
