Recycle BC Depots opening at Vanway and McBride transfer stations

Prince George residents will have another option when it comes to recycling.

According to the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George’s website, new Recycle BC depots are set to open this week at the Vanway and McBride transfer stations.

At the March 20th meeting, the Regional District’s Board of Directors accepted an offer from Recycle BC to operate an additional principal depot at the Vanway Transfer Station, as well as a satellite depot at the McBride Regional Transfer Station.

The Vanway location will open Wednesday, while the McBride location will open Thursday.

Last year, the contractor providing paper and packaging recycling drop off bins and hauling services was unable to continue to provide the service.

The Recycle BC program launched in three locations later in the year.
