LETHBRIDGE It’s been nearly a year since the 60-year-old Stafford Drive South YMCA was demolished. A recent report, released by Lethbridge’s facilities department, shows that more than 98 per cent of the building material was diverted from the landfill. This is all part of the City’s environmental deconstruction program, which started in 2006. “We achieved a goal of 98.1 per cent waste diversion,” said Dean Romeril, property manager with Facility Services. “In that, we divert as much materials as we can from entering the landfill and try and recycle and reuse as many of the construction materials as possible.”
