The new Radium transfer station is set to open to the public on July 2.
“In addition to the collection of household waste, this new transfer station will provide a convenient option for Radium and Area G residents to dispose of their waste and access a wide range of new recycling opportunities,” said RDEK general manager of engineering and environmental services Kevin Paterson.
“Outside the addition of the already hugely successful Recycle BC Program, we will have a Household Hazardous Waste Depot and offer recycling for used oil, electronics, large household appliances, propane tanks, and batteries, as well as dedicated bins for the drop-off of green waste, metals, and wood waste.”
Yellow recycling bins will remain available around the community but residents are encouraged to utilize new options at the transfer station.
“Recycle BC gives residents a chance to recycle paper and cardboard products, glass containers, a wide range of flexible plastics, white Styrofoam and coloured or printed Styrofoam,” added Paterson.
Once open, the transfer station will be open 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a week except for Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Remembrance Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Family Day.
