#Parksville BC: The next Recycle BC Pop-Up Depot is this Saturday, August 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1080 Industrial Way. See accepted materials and the 2024 schedule at bit.ly/3zBmFgC. Provided in partnership with the Parksville Community Centre Society ♻️ #RecycleBC

Contamination is a major obstacle in the recycling process. It occurs when material that is not accepted for recycling is put in recycling bins. Please ensure you’re sorting material correctly and emptying/rinsing containers for collection day. Learn more: bit.ly/3WVNrtg

Rinsing material is not always required for #recycling. But when there are leftovers that need an extra push, add a little water (or use leftover dishwater) to loosen them. See a helpful guide from our team on YT: bit.ly/4dgDooi
