Top Collectors of 2025
• RCF Program
We are very excited to announce the winners of our seventh annual Top Collector Awards. Top 30 B.C. public recycling centres have been recognized for their outstanding performance and commitment to collecting used oil and antifreeze materials across the province throughout 2025.
“Each collection site across the province plays a vital role in keeping our communities safe by recovering hazardous materials like used motor oil, antifreeze, oil filters, and automotive containers,” says Jenn Robson, director of operations at Interchange Recycling. “When residents drop off these materials at our free public recycling centres, they ensure these recyclable resources stay out of local landfills and waterways. These awards recognize the communities leading by example.”
This year’s rankings reflect strong performance across the province, with nine collection sites climbing the ranks and five new facilities joining the list. The GFL Environmental Depot in Abbotsford and the City of Burnaby Eco-Centre maintained their respective first and second-place positions.
