Beyond The Blue Box: KARC Tours
Ever wondered what happens to your recycling after you take the blue box to the curb?
As part of the City's "Beyond the Blue Box" public education program, the Kingston Area Recycling Centre at 196 Lappan's Lane is open for individual or group tours, one Saturday each month.
School tours for Grade 3 or older students can be arranged.
The City's Public Education Coordinator says the tours give visitors a behind-the-scenes look at how recyclables are sorted and prepared for market and eplain why residents are asked to sort recyclables, what happens to them after they leave our facility, and what they get recycled into.
For a current list of available dates or 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.
