Emterra Environmental has made one final donation to the Niagara Health Foundation in order to help cancer patients.

Earlier today, the company presented the foundation with a cheque of $27,098 in support of the Walker Family Cancer Centre.

Over the last eight years, Emterra has donated $372,000 to the foundation through the "Make Your Donation at the Curb" program.

Through the program, the company donated $1 for every tonne of recyclables and batteries collected from residents across Niagara.

Emterra's contract with the region ended in October.
