Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling Food Drive 2009
Information
We are pleased to inform you of our 12th Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive to assist those in need during the Thanksgiving holiday,
which will be held during the weeks of September 14 to September 25, 2009. 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 listed a few facts, 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
