Atikokan Signs With Recool

The township of Atikokan will have a new recycling system in place starting next month.
As of September 3rd, Thunder Bay-based Recool Canada will begin recycling pickup in the township.
Atikokan Mayor Dennis Brown says the new system will bring some changes including the use of blue bags instead of blue boxes.
Brown notes residents will also have to divide up their recyclables with containers in one bag and white paper in another.
In addition, material numbered 3 to 7 will no longer be picked up since there is no market for those kinds of plastics.
