adding up

TERRACE — Tire recycling
isn’t working here in the nor-
thwest and a meeting has been
called for tomorrow night to
find out why.

Tires are continuing to pile up

at local retailers in Terrace and
throughout the northwest —
and some are being landfilled —
because no entrepreneurs are
taking advantage of Victoria's
new tire recycling incentive pro-
gram. .
The environment ministry
launched the program in June.
The credit. system for transpor-
ting old tires to market and
recycling them into new pro-
ducts is’ ‘supposed to encourage
private ‘companies © ‘to. fill the
need.

The system. abel stoi
