Recycling in BC is Changing!
Starting May 19, 2014, businesses that supply packaging and printed paper to BC residents will be responsible for collecting and managing these materials so they can be recycled. Multi-Material BC (MMBC), a non-profit organization working on behalf of these businesses, will be responsible for residential recycling programs in many areas across BC, including Osoyoos.
Through MMBC's packaging and printed paper recycling program, Osoyoos residents will be able to recycle types of packaging that are not included in the current curbside collection program and depot or landfill drop-off locations including milk cartons, foam containers and packaging, plant pots, aluminum foil packaging, certain types of plastic film packaging and drink cups.
*Please note that the use of translucent blue/clear bags, clearly marked reusable container or a BFI recycling cart is accepted providing the materials are compliant. Town of Osoyoos does not provide these items.
Information about how these changes will impact your curbside collection and landfill drop-off will be included with your 2014-2015 Curbside Garbage & Recycling Calendar. Continue to watch for more details!
