DAVIDSON—Ratepayers in the RMs of Arm River and Willner will have a place to take their recycling.

The councils of both RMs recently decided to rent a large bin from Loraas so they may provide recycling to their ratepayers on a trial basis.

The bin will be located behind the RM office on Lincoln Street in Davidson.

“We’re going to try it and if it doesn’t work, we’ll take it out,” Lorne Willner, Reeve of the R.M. of Arm River, said. “We’re happy to try it.”

The bin is there for the use of both rural municipalities’ ratepayers and residents.

The bin will be locked and will be accessible to ratepayers during office hours by signing for a key.

Willner said they will not accept any materials that may go to SARCAN including milk jugs and other beverage containers.

He’d rather see that people support SARCAN with these materials instead of the deposit money going to Loraas, which is charging rent on the bin.

The RMs have placed a notice in this week’s paper that explains the recycling bin policy as well as detailing acceptable and unacceptable material.

Willner said the spirit is to encourage people to recycle.

“We’re happy to still be using the landfill and will work with Davidson as much as we can,” he said.
