Lawson Recycling Depot
Relocation to Primrose Drive

The Lawson Heights Recycling Depot will be moving to a new permanent location on Primrose Drive in early November. The new location, on the south side of Primrose Drive west of the Lawson Heights Civic Centre, is needed as the current location in the parking lot at the Mall at Lawson Heights is no longer available. The new site will offer residents the opportunity to recycle tin cans, milk and beverage containers, newspapers, and cardboard.
The new location has a number of improvements incorporated in its design to help depot users as well as local residents. These include:
• additional recycling bins
• on-site security cameras (directed within the depot only)
• dark sky friendly lighting
• landscape fencing on three sides of the site
• one-way traffic with right-turns only into and out of the depot to minimize traffic disruption
• landscaping and planting designed to screen and beautify the location is planned for spring 2009. Not only does the new location ensure a permanent, long-term location for a north-end recycling depot, it makes use of a partially-developed section of City-owned property that had been used for a bus access turn and depot many years ago. The current depot at the east end of the Mall at Lawson Heights parking lot will be decommissioned at the same time the new depot opens. For more information, contact: Ken Johnson 975-2695
