[Tire Stewardship BC @TiresBC]

We are proud partners of the First Nations Recycling Initiative (FNRI), and in March, we participated in the first collection event of 2022, hosted by the Soowahlie Nation (near Cultus Lake, Fraser Valley region), where tons of tires were collected and recycled! #TiresBC

Some materials are not accepted because they can’t be effectively recycled. For example, paper envelopes with plastic lining. Extend the life of these envelopes by re-using where possible. Find other solutions for common delivery packaging on our blog: https://t.co/1lCCK5p2bn

Most disposable masks use synthetic fabrics made of plastic. When masks are ready for disposal, make sure they end up in the garbage: https://t.co/TR3QaCh2FQ
