Recently The Pas and Area Recycling Centre have had to pay extra to transport recycling out of town to get processed. They used to pay 45 dollars per metric ton and now they have to pay 110 dollars per metric ton due to rising costs of certain materials. 

Workers at the recycling centre have started sorting out the materials before they are sent out in order to cut the costs.

Marjorie Greenwood the manager of the recycling centre does not expect residents to sort their own recycling but she says it would be nice if they did.
