USE THIS ONE_recycling-01132014_1435In keeping with the port’s annual tradition, the POV “WE CAN” Sustainability Committee held an e-waste (used electronics) and block foam recycling event on Monday, January 13. The committee provided transportation of staff e-waste to port tenant IMS Electronics Recycling, and staff block foam to Empower Up (inside the Vancouver Habitat for Humanity store). Staff was able to bring in their recycling from January 3 up to the event date. Thanks to Mary Mattix and team for raising awareness about recycling options within our community!
