Great News for Sustainability in British Columbia!

British Columbia has received a 10-foot sea container with a 1,100 litre tank to store program materials.  (Interchange Recycling)

​Interchange Recycling has opened a new oil recycling depot in Kelowna, B.C., at The Great Canadian Oil Change. This initiative is a huge step forward for protecting the environment and waterways while making recycling more convenient for local residents.

The new facility includes:

• A 10-foot sea container with a 1,100-litre tank for used motor oil, antifreeze, and related materials.
• A free, accessible solution for safe disposal and recycling.

Why it matters:

• Used oil can be re-refined into new lubricants or transformed into energy products.
• Metal oil filters are recycled into new items like rebar and nails.
• Oil containers and antifreeze are repurposed into useful materials like parking curbs and tiles.

This kind of infrastructure ensures automotive materials stay out of landfills, promoting a circular economy in B.C. 

Kudos to Interchange Recycling and The Great Canadian Oil Change for leading the way in environmental responsibility!
