Just in time, the location of a new recycling depot has been announced to replace the Queens Way Recycle Depot operated by GFL.
The GFL depot will close to public drop-offs on May 31.
Recycle BC said in a news release this week that the new depot will be at 40446 Government Road, the site of the old Greyhound bus depot.
The new depot will accept glass, flexible plastics, and foam—which are not accepted in curbside, recycling totes—and mixed containers and paper.
The new depot will be open 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., as stated in a news release.
The facility, which is soon to be the new home of Squamish Rebuild, is “designed to host a wide range of organizations, events, and activities with the common goal of promoting and enabling more sustainable behaviour in daily life,” the release states.
“A central, accessible recycling depot is important to effective community recycling and we are very happy that a local non-profit organization has offered a solution. Squamish ReBuild has been diverting waste for more than a decade and we look forward to their continued service to residents as our new Recycle BC depot host,” said Mayor Armand Hurford in a statement to The Squamish Chief.
