Below is an important update from Recycle BC on the Queen’s Way Recycling Depot and residential packaging collection interruption for Britannia Beach and Furry Creek residents:
"The last day of operation for the existing GFL depot on Queen’s Way is June 14, 2024.
While we navigate these delays, residents can continue to use the curbside and multi-family collection programs for most residential packaging and paper products, such as newspaper, magazines, cardboard, steel and aluminum cans, rigid plastic containers, soup cartons, and paper beverage cups and lids.
For materials not accepted curbside (glass, flexible plastics and foam), here are your options:
London Drugs in Garibaldi Village Shopping Centre: Accepts flexible plastics and foam packaging (limit one small bag per visit)
Whistler: Function Junction Depot (1001 Lynham Road) and Nesters Depot (8006 Nesters Road)
North Vancouver: North Shore Bottle Depot (235 Donaghy Ave), North Vancouver Bottle and Return-It Depot (310 Brooksbank Ave), and North Shore Recycling and Waste Centre (30 Riverside Drive West)
Squamish Landfill: 100 Landfill Rd, Brackendale
Thank you for your patience. More info at https://recyclebc.ca/important-update-new-depot-in-squamish-delays/"
