Prince George residents can now donate to a local charity just by recycling.
The Prince George Recycling and Return-It Centre has purchased a series new Charity Donation Bins to be set up around the city.
Residents can drop off their empty drink containers at one of the bins to be recycled, with all proceeds going towards local charities.
“We plan to donate to as many local charities as we can” said Ken Ziemer with the Recycling Centre. “It’s basically going to run on one to two months for each charity and then we’ll switch it up.”
Ziemer says he got the idea from a similar program in Victoria.
“We just figured it was a really good way to support a bunch of local charities” said Ziemer.
Ziemer says right now they`re trying to find good locations for the bins and are open to suggestions from the public.
