Interchange Recycling recognized the Top 30 used oil and antifreeze Return Collection Facilities with a pair of Prince George sites cracking the list.
The Foothills Regional Landfill ranked 23rd while the Vanway Regional Transfer Station was 29th.
Vanway also qualified for a 2024 Local Government facility award.
The criteria to determine the top collectors includes:
- The total amount of used oil and antifreeze collected at the facility
- The total number of years participating in the public return facility program
- A demonstration of continued support of Interchange Recycling and other stewardship related programs
“All of our dedicated collection sites across the province contribute to keeping our local communities stronger and healthier, thanks to their ongoing commitment to keeping oil, filters, antifreeze and their containers, out of landfills,” said Jenn Robson, Director of Operations, Interchange Recycling.
“We wanted to recognize these 30 facilities who collected the most in 2024 for going above and beyond to provide an important service to local residents. We’re excited to share that we have never had so many B.C. government facilities make the Top Collector list before, there are 12 who topped our list, and we’re proud to recognize the vital role these local governments have played in protecting the environment while promoting sustainable practices in their communities.”
Three other northern communities made the list including Williams Lake and Quesnel’s Jepson Petroleum sites, which placed 5th and 13 respectfully while the Fort St. John Co-op Association on 100th Avenue ranked 12th.
