Empty Automotive Container Expansion

Following approval from the BC Ministry of Environment and Parks, Interchange Recycling is expanding the product list in British Columbia to include all automotive containers.

Automotive containers are defined in the 2025 BC Recycling Regulation Amendment as any containers that hold fluids, gels, greases, waxes, creams, and aerosols designed for use in the maintenance or repair of a motor vehicle. Interchange Recycling’s BC Extended Producer Responsibility Plan covers these regulated categories of materials, as further described in Regulation Schedules 1 and 2.

Our signage has been updated effective April 1 to reflect the Automotive Container Expansion, click here to place an order.

If additional space is required to accommodate extra containers, Infrastructure Grants are available to support your needs. For further details, please visit this page for application details.
