The Regional District of Central Okanagan is once again hosting a series of pop-up recycling depots for residents in Lake Country.
The pop-up depots will give Lake Country residents an opportunity to easily recycle items that are not allowed in curbside recycling carts and need to be taken to a depot only. Residents in Lake Country and Peachland typically travel to the nearest depots in Kelowna or West Kelowna to properly recycle their depot only items, things like foam packaging, plastic bags and overwrap, glass bottles and jars and other flexible plastic packaging (such as crinkly wrappers, stand up pouches and zipper bags). Electronics will also be accepted at these pop-up events. The pop-up depots are for residential recycling only, not business recycling.
Eight Lake Country pop-ups will take place on the fourth Saturday of the month starting in March from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the parking lot at the corner of Main Street and Hill Road (3165 Hill Road) across from the former Kangaroo farm. Staff will be on hand to answer any recycling questions.
There will be a recycling-related prize draw each month for those participating in dropping off items at the pop-up depot that month; and at the end of October there will be a random draw from all participants to win an e-bike provided by Lake Country Cycle.
