Do you take about 40 car and truck tires ?

Mick asked 9 months ago

Thank you for your question about tires.
Tires are managed by the Tire Stewardship of BC. For large volumes we recommend reaching out to them at https://tsbc.ca/ to collect the tires directly.

Is there a fee to drop off paint cans?

jimmy asked 10 months ago

We are temporarily not accepting paint because the drop off area is currently full. Once we have room, there is no fee to drop off, thanks to the program we host at our site, Product Care's recycling program for paint. If you aren't sure what is accepted please check this website. https://www.productcare.org/products/paint/british-columbia/.
To find out when we're open again for paint check our website https://www.scrd.ca/landfill/.

Does the Sechelt land fill accept the small green type propane cylinders? Is there a cost ? Do they get dropped off where the paint left overs get dropped off? Thank you.

Beverly asked over 2 years ago

Yes, the Sechelt Landfill accepts the small green type propane cylinders that are smaller than 1lb for $2 per cylinder. Follow the site attendant's direction for where to place them as there is currently no set location.

do you know where I can dispose of chemicals? Specifically expired creosote cleaners for chimneys and masonry bric. (unsure of actual ingredients, similar products contain sodium hydroxide)

Thomas Heating asked almost 3 years ago

Thank you for your inquiry. The chemicals you described are not accepted at any of the residential recycling locations on the Sunshine Coast. We advise reaching out a private hazardous waste company or contacting the Recycling Council of BC at 604-recycle or hotline@rcbc.ca for options.
