Local companies have plan for used farm plastic
offer farmers. Option 1 is a $140 per tonne tipping fee charge to collect used baling plastic. Option 2 is a “one-size-fits-all” plans that offers a bulk rate of $140 per tonne for any amount of used baling plastic up to an 800-tonne maximum. For 801 tonnes or more the tip- ping fee for collection would be $95 per tonne. Option 2 has an alternative with an an- nual fixed fee of $35 a year each from a wor- king farm. This alternative requires at least a client list of 1000 farms to be feasible as it would then represent $291 a month in reve- nue for Recycle Action. The whole collection program would in- volve eight drop-off container sites, one for each member municipality in the UCPR. Arcand and Lessard noted that Option 2 would be easy to set up and operate, it would encourage local farmers to recycling their used baling plastic, which means less trash going into the landfills, less red tape
for operation, and guaranteed revenue for Recycle Action and service for local farmers. Recycle Action is part of Groupe Convex’s system of niche businesses which provide employment for the non-profit group’s clients. Arcand noted that the proposal dovetails well with Groupe Convex’s goals. “I have one concern here,” said East Hawkesbury Mayor Robert Kirby, who is also a working farmer, “and that’s the trans- portation.” He wondered about the distance involved to a dropoff site and what kind of vehicle might be needed to truck the used baling
plastic there. Sylvain Charlebois, UCPR economic de- velopment director, told council he has discussed the used baling plastic situation with representatives for the local farming sector and with Laflèche Environmental. The key unanswered question still is how much used baling plastic exists in Prescott- Russell for recycling. Hawkesbury Mayor René Berthiaume suggested, with support from several other mayors, that Charlebois continue looking into the matter with Groupe Convex for a future report to counties council.

L’ORIGNAL | Two companies have a made- in-Prescott-Russell idea for helping local farmers deal with their used baling plastic. Caroline Arcand of Groupe Convex and Robert Lessard from Recycle Action pres- ented their solution during the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) council May 14 committee of the whole session. “Recycle Action has a possible solution,” said Arcand. The two companies got together after Groupe Convex staff reviewed a local news- paper article about how the counties was looking into the problems that farmers have finding a way to recycle their used baling plastic instead of dumping in the local landfills. Arcand and Lessard outlined two options that Recycle Action is willing to
