What Happens to the Newspaper and Flyers at the Depot?
We bale the newspaper and flyers together and ship them to Blue Heron in the USA where they de-ink the paper and sell it as sheets of recycled pulp to markets across North America, mostly California where there is a legislated requirement for newspaper to have 40% post-consumer waste content. A portion of our newspaper is mixed with our office paper in a ‘special blend’ and sold to CK Fibre in Langley where it is made into egg cartons & Tim Hortons drink trays.
