New Used Oil Recycling Depot Opens in Kelowna

We are pleased to announce the official opening of a new used oil recycling depot in Kelowna at The Great Canadian Oil Change on 3481 Sexsmith Road. This location has received a 10 ft sea container with a 1,100 litre tank to store program materials.

“Our ability to properly recycle and re-introduce used materials back into B.C.’s circular economy is important work that requires growing infrastructure to enable the safe collection, handling and storage,” said David Lawes, CEO, Interchange Recycling. “This new infrastructure will help keep more automotive materials out of landfill, and will enable the hard working team at The Great Canadian Oil Change to collect materials from Kelowna residents with ease.”

“With the addition of this new recycling infrastructure, we’re able to manage these automotive  materials more efficiently and safely,” said Mike Bernhardt, Franchise Owner, Great Canadian Oil Change, Kelowna Sexsmith. “We’re now able to provide Kelowna residents and customers with a convenient, close to home solution to recycle used motor oil, antifreeze, and related materials, ensuring they are properly handled and kept out of our environment and our local waterways.”
