Big changes are coming to recycling in the Cowichan Valley this week. The May 19 introduction of the new Multi-Material BC (MMBC) recycling program means the list of recyclable items accepted at your curbside is changing. While recycling will still be picked up in yellow bags at the curb, and the pick-up days and frequency won’t change, there are some significant differences in what you can put in those yellow bags, beginning today. Film plastics will no longer be accepted in curbside pick up. Instead, they will
be accepted at the Junction Bottle Depot A number of items have been added to and the Peerless Road Recycling Centre. the list of acceptable curbside products, Film plastics include: including: • Clear or opaque retail bags for grocer- • Clean gable-top cartons (milk, milkies or dry cleaning type beverages, cream, substitute eggs) • Clear or opaque bags for bread, news- — these will continue to be accepted in papers and flyers the organics bin • Clear bags for produce and dry bulk • Some aerosol containers foods • Clean plant pots and trays • Frozen vegetable/fruit bags • Clean aseptic boxes for milk, milk• Outer wrap for bulk paper products type beverages, soup, broths and sauces and soft drink and can flats • Clean paper packaging coated in wax • Water softener, salt and garden prod- — these will continue to be accepted in uct bags the organics bin • Outer milk bags and pouches • Clean hot and cold drink cups — these • Diaper and feminine hygiene product will continue to be accepted in the orouter bags ganics bin • Pre-washed salad bags • Telephone books and other directories
Cowichan Valley residents have five local recycling depots that will take glass, film plastics and Styrofoam items, including Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) Recycling Centres at Peerless Road, Bings Creek, and Meade Creek, as well as Island Return-It bottle depots in Ladysmith and Duncan. According to the CVRD, multi-family dwellings will continue to be managed privately, so those residents should speak with their service providers with regards to any changes to their recycling collection programs.
