Sherridon has been named the winner of the 2015 Northern Community Clean-Up by the Canadian Beverage Recycling Association (CBCRA) and its Recycle Everywhere program in association with Multi-Material Stewardship Manitoba (MMSM).
Sherridon received $5,000 to be spent on a recycling program within the community. A barbecue to mark the award was held last month with over 100 community members, the community council, clean-up volunteers and students on hand.
“We are very proud of all the participating northern communities who have come together to help keep their communities clean while reducing waste and increasing recycling at the same time,” said Christa Rust, program manager of the CBCRA and its Recycle Everywhere program.
