On Friday Sept 18, Greg Harper from CityTV visited London Drugs’ recycling partner, Genesis Recycling in Aldergrove, BC, to broadcast live segments for ‘Live Eye’ on the Breakfast Television and Lunch Television shows.
The crew filmed London Drugs recycling in action – from computer disassembly and secure hard drive recycling to our industry-leading styrofoam recycling program. Genesis President Bruce Shore and Maple Ridge, BC, London Drugs Manager Mike Cummings were on hand to answer questions and let people know what a difference London Drugs customers are making.
For instance, in the last 18 months, over 40 semi-truckloads of styrofoam have been recycled. Mike Cummings is pictured here, with a recycled polystyrene ‘puck’, showing how much the styrofoam waste is condensed for shipping. In total, London Drugs and Genesis partnership has diverted over a million pounds of waste from our landfills.
GreenDeal blog would like to officially thank Greg, Christan and the CityTV crew, and Bruce and Mike for getting up so early to help spread the word.
But we wouldn’t be successful without the London Drugs customers, choosing to shop where they can recycle their packaging, old laptops & appliances and taking the time to bring the stuff in. Way to go.
Keep on recyclin’!
