Thorsen Creek Recycling Depot accepts more than 30 different categories of items for recycling and is a drop off facility for most provincial Product Stewardship Programs.
Our Recycling Depot is staffed by a friendly recycling attendant who is available to asist customers.
All recyclables are shipped to the lower mainland for processing. We currently ship approximately one (1) semi-trailer load per month.
Ready-to-drink beverage containers can be recycled three ways:
- Return to the local Return-It Depot for a refund.
- Donate to local community organizations.
- Include with other recyclable containers at the Thorsen Creek Recycling Centre. NO Deposit Refund.
Below is a list of recyclables accepted for free at our depot. Please note that rims must be removed from tires, or a $5.00 charge will be applied for each rim. Commercial-size tires are not part of the free recycling program and are subject to a charge based on size.
