Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling Food Drive 2007
Information
We are pleased to inform you of our 10th Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to assist those in need during the
Thanksgiving holiday, which will be held during the weeks of September 17 to September 28, 2007. As our collection
areas are completed over a two-week cycle, all residents serviced by us will receive one blue-box collection over this
time period. We feel that as we are in a position to be servicing such a large area on a daily basis, this would be a
great opportunity for people to make a donation without having to deliver to a food depot. Donations can be
placed in an open bag beside their blue-box on the normal recycling collection day during the 2-week time span.

In planning for this annual event, we are asking for your assistance in notifying residents (who may call your office with
questions) within their respective municipalities that they can place their donations by their blue-box on their normal
collection day within this two-week time span.

We are currently developing plans to ensure all residents in our service areas are aware of the food-drive and how
they may participate. These plans include extensive advertising in local papers and a mail out flyer. As your
municipal office may receive calls or questions regarding donations. We have outlined a quick fact sheet, which
may be helpful.

· Only accepting canned goods due to animal and weather reasons

· All donations should be placed in an open plastic bag beside their recycling material on their day of collection

· Anyone not sure which day they are collected during the donation period may call us at (519) 797-5557 or (800)
794-9770

· All donations will be shipped by BASWR to The Salvation Army for distribution. They have assured us that they help
families in need in all of Bruce County and not just the area in which they are located.

· Anyone not in our service areas is welcome to deliver donations to our facility
