Interchange Recycling has partnered with the RDEK to offer oil recycling at the recently opened Radium transfer station.
The transfer station received a 20 foot sea container with a 2,200 liter tank and two drums for used oil collection and to store program materials.
“Expanding our collection network and making it easier for British Columbians to recycle used motor oil and automotive materials is key to keeping these products out of landfills,” said Interchange Recycling CEO David Lawes.
“Once collected, the used oil is refined and repurposed, preventing the environmental harm improper disposal can cause. The Radium Hot Springs Transfer Station is strategically located to support nearby communities and make responsible recycling more convenient.”
Residents will be able to drop off used oil, antifreeze and other related materials.
In 2023, Interchange Recycling collected 49,823,206 litres of used oil in B.C.
