The Thompson Recycling Centre hosted an open house Aug. 15, where manager Billie-Jo Thompson provided curious residents with hotdogs, watermelon and a tour of the facility itself. Outside of highlighting their new baler and day-to-day operations, Thompson also promoted their latest collaborative project with the School District of Mystery Lake, where Juniper School students are aiming to collect enough aluminum tabs to buy a wheelchair for someone who might need to use it on an emergency or temporary basis.
