The New Westminster recycling depot will be replaced by a shared facility in Coquitlam.

Kudos to Ken Wrights’ editorial.

I totally agree moving the recycling depot is wrong. I use this facility every week because of its location. Moving the location is not in my carbon footprint, not a normal area I travel to, and with the cost of gas and having to use the Bailey bridge with the amount of travel in that area to access this the new location, my recycling days would be done.

I would not go this location.

Currently, there is a baseball field adjacent to the current depot - could some of this land be used be used for the new pool?

And the removal of the Begbie statue is wrong - we cannot underdo was done and to remove it is forgetting to move forward.
