There are also over 600 yellow bin recycling bins out across the East Kootenay for the collection of paper, cardboard, tin cans and plastics #1-#6 (no styrofoam).
In addition, there are a number of provincial recycling programs, known as Provincial Extended Producer Programs.
To learn more about our recycling programs, the provincial extended producer programs (like oil, tires, batteries and electronics), or to get the hours of operation for specific transfer stations or landfills, visit the links on the left or engage.rdek.bc.ca/recycle and download the latest recycling guides, ask how to recycle something in the FAQ section or get info on all the items that can go to a Recycle BC Depot.
