Cardboard and mixed paper recycling reopens at select transfer stations

Cardboard and mixed paper recycling services are available again at nine rural transfer stations across the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George: 

• Electoral Area A (Salmon River-Lakes)
  • Chief Lake Regional Transfer Station
• Electoral Area C (Chilako River-Nechako)
  • Berman Lake Regional Transfer Station
  • West Lake Regional Transfer Station
• Electoral Area D (Tabor Lake-Stone Creek)
  • Buckhorn Regional Transfer Station
  • Cummings Road Regional Transfer Station
• Electoral Area E (Woodpecker-Hixon)
  • Hixon Regional Transfer Station
• Electoral Area F (Willow River-Upper Fraser Valley)
  • Shelley Regional Transfer Station
  • Willow River Regional Transfer Station
• Electoral Area H (Robson Valley-Canoe)
  • Dunster Regional Transfer Station

Cardboard and mixed paper recycling was paused at these transfer stations in May 2024 when the contractor providing all recycling services at Regional District sites was unable to continue. 

The Regional District is returning the cardboard and mixed paper recycling service to these nine sites as it was the largest product category collected by weight. Additionally, five new Recycle BC depots in Prince George, Mackenzie, McBride and Valemount accept other materials including:

• metal, plastic and paper containers
• white and colour styrofoam
• flexible plastics
• glass bottles and jars
