The Winnifred Stewart Association (WSA) has an important program called Empties to WINN (previously known as the Beverage Container Recycle Program). This program provides a simple, convenient, and hassle-free way to recycle your milk containers, cans, bottles, juice boxes, and other beverage containers. All of the funds collected through Empties to WINN directly support the programs and services offered by WSA.
Individual residents participating in the program receive free white or clear bags with a bag stand, regularly scheduled pick-ups at their home, and a tax receipt for each full bag collected. Companies or organizations participating in the program receive a large green bin to place in their office, regularly scheduled pick-ups at their location(s), and a tax receipt for each full bin collected.
Members of the WSA would be happy to speak directly with anyone interested in the program, and invite you to contact them for more information. www.emptiestowinn.com
Lance Armstrong was in Edmonton last week thanks to the tireless efforts of Incite, Oomph! Events, and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. I had the amazing opportunity to ride 100Km with him and 40 others we helped to recruit to pursue an aggressive million dollar fundraising goal.
