Back to SearchEffective Monday December 27, foam packaging collection will resume at all depots in the Recycle BC program within the Central Okanagan. Glass collection also restarted December 20.
Travis Kendel, Manager of Engineering with the Regional District of Central Okanagan says, “We want to thank residents for holding on to this material while the collection was suspended. We’ve had some exceptional circumstances in the province with unprecedented flooding and closures of our major transportation corridors. It’s great that Recycle BC was able to restart collection now, as residents may have additional material through the holidays. Starting December 27, it will be business as usual at our depots.”
Normal curbside recyclable collection also continues and recyclers are reminded that glass and foam packaging should not be added to the carts. They are depot only items.
