Recycling options increase
The provincial government recently announced that many single-use plastic items can now be recycled in BC, filling blue bins instead of garbage cans. The newly accepted recyclable items include party cups, plates, and bowls. Other items, such as soft plastic sandwich bags, can now be taken to recycling depots. The full list of items now accepted for recycling is available at recyclebc.ca/newitems.
