Beyond The Blue Box: KARC Tours
Ever wondered what happens to your recycling after you take the blue box to the curb?
The City will offer drop-in tours from 10 a.m. to noon of its Kingston Area Recycling Centre at 196 Lappan's Lane on the following dates in 2012:
- Saturday, April 21
- Saturday, July 21
- Saturday, October 20
School tours for Grade 3 or older students can be arranged.
The tours give visitors a behind-the-scenes look at how recyclables are sorted and prepared for market and explain why residents are asked to sort recyclables, what happens to them after they leave our facility, and what they get recycled into.
To book your tour, please contact Derek Ochej, Public Education Coordinator, at dochej@cityofkingston.ca or call 613-546-4291, ext. 2703 and ask for KARC Tours.
