Abbotsford recycling depot recognized as top B.C. collector for 3rd consecutive year

ABBOTSFORD — A local recycling hub has earned top honours for its work in turning dangerous liquid trash into reused treasure at Interchange Recycling’s Top Collector Awards this year.

The seventh annual event has recognized Abbotsford’s GFL Environmental for the third year in a row.

Selection criteria include: the total amount of used oil and antifreeze collected at the facility, total number of participating years at Interchange Recycling’s public return program, and demonstrated support of the nonprofit and other recycling stewardship programs.

“Each collection site across the province plays a vital role in keeping our communities safe by recovering hazardous materials like used motor oil, antifreeze, oil filters, and automotive containers,” said Jenn Robson, director of operations at Interchange Recycling.
