The Regional District of East Kootenay’s Newest Transfer Station Receives Used Oil Recycling Infrastructure

We are excited to announce that the Regional District of East Kootenay’s newest transfer station, Radium Hot Springs Transfer Station, located at 4755 Wastewater Treatment Plant Road, has received a new 20ft sea container with 2,200 liter tank and 2 drums for used oil collection and to store program materials. 

“Expanding our collection network and making it easier for British Columbians to recycle used motor oil and automotive materials is key to keeping these products out of landfills,” said David Lawes, CEO, Interchange Recycling. “Once collected, the used oil is refined and repurposed, preventing the environmental harm improper disposal can cause. The Radium Hot Springs Transfer Station is strategically located to support nearby communities and make responsible recycling more convenient.”

“This improved infrastructure allows us to safely collect and store even more used oil, antifreeze, and related materials,” said Jim Penson, RDEK Solid Waste Superintendent. “This program has been a valuable resource for our community over the years, helping prevent improper disposal of hazardous materials. We’re proud to support efforts that protect our local environment and contribute to a cleaner, healthier community.”

Interchange Recycling would like to acknowledge that their head office in Victoria is located on the traditional territory of the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, and Coast Salish people.
