Christmas cardboard piled high at local recycling depots Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Recycling bins at the Sportsplex depot were filled to overflowing in the days immediately following Christmas. Recycling – mostly in the form of discarded cardboard boxes – spilled out of the bins and onto the pavement as residents flocked to the depot to dispose of their postChristmas waste. Jesse Lee, manager of the Comox Strathcona Solid Waste Management service, said while the amount of recycling dropped off at the depots does go up over the holidays, this year was somewhat out of the ordinary. “The holiday season tends to be very busy at the depots and for some reason this past season was particularly busy,” Lee said. But despite the heavy usage, Lee said the waste management service, which operates six recycling depots in the Campbell River/Comox Valley area, received no complaints.
