What happens to recycled goods in Manitoba
Manitoba residents recycle about 30 kilograms per person annually, while participation remains low. Recyclables are transported to Westman Recycling Council and then sold to markets nationwide. Paper goes to Pine Falls mill, aluminum to British Columbia refineries, tin to steel mills, plastics to American mills, while glass is crushed for fill.
