We are sharing the following on behalf of Saint John EMO:
URGENT NOTICE: Shelter in place notice issued for areas of City due to smoke from fire at AIM facility
The SJ-EMO has issued a voluntary shelter-in-place order for residents in the City’s South end and Millidgeville areas due to the fire incident currently taking place at the AIM recycling facility.
Residents are asked to remain in their homes, if possible, due to air quality concerns. Closing all windows and doors is recommended as well as turning off HVAC systems.
It is recommended that if you are in an area where you smell smoke, that you limit your exposure outside. Should you need to be outside, consider wearing a mask as a precautionary measure.
Emergency personnel are working to contain the fire, and the Department of Environment has been engaged.
The following schools have been closed for the day due to air quality concerns:
-Saint John High School
-Saint Malachy's Memorial High School
-St. John the Baptist/King Edward School

@jmbtake6 It is confusing! Only some tetrapaks can be recycled. It comes down to the beverage container (deposit) program in NB. If you paid a deposit on it - it can go back for a refund (or in your recycling box). In general most beverage container tetrapaks can be recycled :)

@Nivresj It was great having your class here Anne - they were wonderful representatives of your school.

@alexthegreat98 hmm, food soiled cardboard is acceptable in compost. You should check directly with your collection provider. If you live in City: 658 4455 / other area in the region - Fero: 652 3376.

@TroyDixonSJ They are garbage due to the mixed materials - metal and cardboard

[Fundy Regional Service Commission @FundyRecycles]

@lamiales7 @CarlRyanGilmore @DavidHickeySJ No charge for sorted recycling.

[Fundy Regional Service Commission @FundyRecycles]

@lamiales7 @cityofsaintjohn Businesses are encouraged to compost food scraps - we incentivize it through the tiered tip fee: garbage $113/tonne compost $40. You are right we need businesses acting sustainably as well!

Except, the greater Saint John & Moncton areas, we've gone ahead on our own to great success.

[CTV News Atlantic @CTVAtlantic]

New Brunswick remains the only province in Atlantic Canada yet to enforce a provincewide ban on plastic bags and some are wondering why. https://t.co/Vq4dmQ0bqg

[Fundy Regional Service Commission @FundyRecycles]

It's been 9 months of no plastic checkout bags in the grocery stores. And, they essentially just disappeared.
No more plastic bags clogging the sorting lines or littering the streets in the Fundy Region.
