It’s a challenge to recycle and decontaminate unserviceable
vehicles and appliances in Nunavik. Not only do they take
up valuable space in our ever-expanding landfills, they
also may contain a number of harmful substances like lead,
CFC’s, mercury, oil, fuel, and antifreeze. In Kangirsuk, with the
closing of the old residual materials site, a pilot project was
realized in the summer of 2016 with funding from the Kativik
Regional Government (KRG). Additional support was provided
by Scout Environmental, Automotive Recyclers of Canada,
and the Fédération des Coopératives du Nouveau-Québec.
Local employees with assistance from the KRG and Scout
Environmental, a non-profit organization who has supported
similar projects in Nunavut and Nunatsiavut, realized the
following: decommissioned 72 unserviceable vehicles, 15
pieces of heavy equipment and 15 fridges/freezers as well
as removing seven drums of used oil and fuel, one drum of
windshield washer fluid, two drums of antifreeze, 20 lbs of lead
and 12 mercury switches. The fluids and battery components
were shipped to recyclers last fall and the remaining materials
were put in storage to be recycled the following year. The
Kativik Environmental Advisory Committee would like to
congratulate the community of Kangirsuk and the participants
who assisted in making this project possible.
