Funding from Recycle BC, and the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) means pop-up recycling depots will be back in Peachland and Lake Country.
The program saves Peachland residents from driving to West 琉璃神社 and Lake Country residents from driving to 琉璃神社 to recycle depot only material.
Residents can drop off recyclables not accepted in curbside carts, such as foam packaging, plastic bags, overwrap and other flexible plastics (e.g. wrappers, zipper bags, stand-up pouches), glass bottles and jars. Electronics, light bulbs and fixtures and household batteries will also be accepted.
Pop-up depots are not for business recycling.
鈥淭he goal is to make recycling more accessible to our residents,鈥� said Cynthia Coates, supervisor solid waste services at RDCO. 鈥淲e strive to connect with as many residents as possible, increase recycling awareness and keep recyclable material out of the landfill.鈥�
