A green solution to blue bin processing: New facility to open in Coaldale in 2022
COALDALE, AB – The Town of Coaldale is gearing up for the launch of a new blue bin processing facility that it says will be a game-changer.
The municipality recently reached an agreement with 2Point0 Ltd. for a “Made in Coaldale” solution for handling and processing recyclables from the curbside pickup program.
“As a municipality, we’ve recognized for several years that increasing costs as it relates to processing solid waste in all forms represents a risk to municipalities, and Coaldale is no exception,” said Cam Mills, Manager of Economic Development & Strategic Initiatives at the Town of Coaldale.
“This partnership with 2Point0 provides us with an opportunity to hedge against increasing costs for tipping some of our waste, while also providing the community with a number of spin-off benefits that will either lower our costs or allow us to provide a higher level of service.”
