Iqaluit shipping eight sea cans of used plastic water bottles to Montreal for recycling

Iqaluit, Nunavut – Plastic bottles that were left over from the city’s water crisis late last year have filled eight sea cans that are headed to Montreal for recycling.

The shipment of the water bottles has spared about 265 cubic metres of plastic from entering the local landfill. Nunatsiaq News report | READ MORE
