To access the facility, please enter via Marine Avenue between Willingdon Beach Campground and Brooks Secondary School. The site address is 4924 Marine Avenue, Powell River, B.C.

 

During this limited opening, the RRC is only accepting Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). In the qathet Regional District, MSW includes garbage from all households and businesses in the region. MSW is material destined for the landfill and does not include:

 

construction & demolition waste, hazardous waste, recyclable materials, or compostable materials.

 

Until services are expanded at the Resource Recovery Centre, all other materials including construction & demolition waste, land clearing debris, asbestos, and scrap metal will continue to go to Augusta Recyclers. Compostable yard and food waste will continue to go to Sunshine Disposal and Recycling. Stay tuned for more details about the gradual opening of the Resource Recovery Centre.

 

 

 

Please check back for regular updates.
