Several financial institutions have partnered with Crime Stoppers and have agreed to place toonie strips with each teller at each branch. Toonie strips are currently on display at branches of RBC Financial Group, National Bank Of Canada, TD Canada Trust, Caisses populaires de l'Ontario, Scotiabank and BMO Financial Group until the end of March. Crime Stoppers is encouraging the community to donate a toonie each time they visit their financial institution. All of the proceeds from this fundraiser are used to help in the fight against crime within Windsor & Essex County. Pictured left to right: O.P.P. Constable Dave Ferris, Windsor Police Services Detective Tim Murphy, Crime Stoppers Director Randall McKnight display toonie strips. `Bag It Back' program begins On Feb. 5, the provincial government launched its `Bag It Back' program for containers originating from the Liquor Control Board. Instead of putting empty wine, beer and spirit containers in the Blue Box for recycling, you can take them back to The Beer Store for a refund. Residents will receive a 10 cent refund on small coolers and beer and 20 cents for the larger wine and liquor bottles. The Essex Windsor Solid Waste Authority applauds the deposit/refund program initiated by the provincial government for several reasons, according to General Manager Todd Pepper. "Glass has long been a money loser for the authority's recycling program. High freight costs, limited markets, and low to no revenues are just some of the problems the Authority faces," Pepper said in a press release. Recovery rates for LCBO bottles has hovered around 69 percent, meaning that 31 percent are ending up in the landfill. This does not include the portion of the eight million LCBO containers sold into the EssexWindsor market that are made from aluminum, plastic, or tetra pak. At the same time, the Beer Store boasts a return rate of approximately 98 percent. The deposit/refund program is expected to have a positive influence on our local recycling program, Pepper said.
