The yellow bins in the RDEK take:

� Mixed paper – all paper, phone books, magazines, envelopes, post it notes, flyers, soft & hard cover books, newspapers, etc. � Aluminum and tin cans – beverage and food cans (ie/ soup, tuna). Cans should be well rinsed with labels removed if possible. � Plastic milk jugs – plastic milk jugs are the ONLY plastic that is accepted in the yellow bins. Rinse, crush and crushed, with the caps removed. Cardboard – from big boxes to cereal, � toothpaste, and cracker boxes. Boxes must be flattened. If cardboard is covered with wax, foil, or food waste (i.e. pizza boxes and milk cartons) it cannot be recycled and goes in the garbage.

The glass recycling bins in the East Kootenay are for food grade container glass ONLY. That means the bins accept only container glass that holds food and beverages. Some examples include: �� Jam jars ��Olive oil jars �� Cheez whiz jars ��Ice tea or wine bottles �� Pickle jars These containers must be well rinsed with lids and any plastic plugs removed. The following are NOT accepted in the glass bins: ��Shower doors ��Lightbulbs ��Windshields ��Picture frame glass ��Dishes of any kind (clear drinking glasses, pyrex dishes, corel ware, pottery, plates, etc). No dishes! ��Glass trinkets and knick knacks (like candlestick holders) �

When the wrong glass is thrown in the recycling bin, it can mean the entire load has to be landfilled. Lately the recycling facility has found an unacceptable level of contaminants – namely dishes, corel ware/pyrex and ceramics – in our loads. No dishes of any kind go in the glass bins.

VILLAGE OF CANAL FLATS NOTICE OF PROPERTY DISPOSITION As per Section 26 of the Community Charter, the Village of Canal Flats proposes to sell the following property:

Lot 22, Block 2, DL 110 KD Plan 2580

Located at 4981 Stephens Avenue, Canal Flats, B.C. Also known as ‘Clinic Building’ This property is listed with the following realtor:

Barry Benson – Rocky Mountain Realty Ltd Phone: 250-345-4000

All household plastics #1-#6 go in the blue bins and must be washed before being placed in the bin. What’s NOT accepted: � Plastic Bags of any Kind – plastic bags are no longer

accepted. Check with your grocer to see if they have a recycling program. If not, consider using cloth bags or reusing plastic ones. Styrofoam – even though Styrofoam is marked with a � #6, it is NOT recyclable. � Unmarked plastics – if it doesn’t have a number on it, it can’t go in the bin. Often the lids are made out of different plastics than the containers, so you have to check carefully. If the container is a #2, but the lid has no number on it, the container goes in the blue recycling bin and the lid would go in the garbage. � #7 plastics – #7 plastic is NOT recyclable through the RDEK’s program.

Any paint can with liquid left in it should be returned to the Invermere Fire Department during drop off hours only. Paint Drop Off Hours: Tuesdays 7:30pm—9:00pm Sundays 10:00am—2:00pm Accepted paints include oil, latex and aerosol cans. Paint must be returned in the original containers that are sealed and clearly labeled.

The BC Used Oil Management Association oversees the collection of used oil in BC. Depots accept used oil, filters and containers. Used oil is not accepted at any of the RDEK transfer stations or landfills. For the depot location near you, call the RDEK.

The only household hazardous waste depot in the East Kootenay is Purcell Recycling at 125 Slater Road, Cranbrook (Bridge Interiors building). Purcell’s Temporary Hours: Wednesday-Friday 12pm-4pm They accept household solvents, pesticides, gasoline and other flammable liquids. There are some restrictions, so call ahead at 489-0966.
