Recycling Depots and Provincial Product Stewardship Programs

Blue box materials can also be taken to a Recycle BC depot, along with depot-only materials such as foam food containers and trays, plastic bags and overwrap, and other flexible plastic packaging.

Many other products, such as those listed below, are diverted from landfill through industry-funded provincial stewardship and retail take-back programs. Call the Recycling Hotline at 1.800.667.4321 or search the Recycling Council of BC Recyclepedia to find a recycling location nearest you.
