Summer Recycling

On the Lake

Keep our lake beautiful!

• When you're enjoying a day on the water, remember to bring a bag for garbage and an extra re-usable grocery bag to transport your recyclables home.
• Cardboard boxes that contained water toys (i.e. air mattresses, etc) are recyclable in your curbside bag.

On the Shore

Having a picnic at the beach?

• Bring an extra reusable grocery bag for transporting recyclables home.
• Plastic containers for condiments, store-bought salads, etc. can be placed in your curbside bag.
• Hot dog and hamburger bun bags are recyclable ONLY at the depot. Depots are located at the Salmon Arm Landfill* and Bills Bottle Depot*.
• Beverage containers are recyclable at Bill's Bottle Depot*.
• Reusable plastic containers (i.e. Tupperware) DO NOT go in your recycling.
• Disposable propane, butane, and other gas canisters DO NOT go in your curbside bag or to the depot because they are a hazard to collection and sorting staff. Take these to the Salmon Arm Landfill for proper disposal.
