Product Care Recycling is pleased to announce that the Parksville Bottle & Recycling Centre is now accepting household paint and household hazardous waste (HHW) products, including camping fuel, paint thinner, and domestic pesticides. This new service provides a convenient local option for residents to safely dispose of these materials.
Previously, Parksville residents had to travel to Nanaimo for the proper disposal of household paint and HHW products. Now, with summer upon us and the increase in home renovations and camping activities, the new drop-off site at Parksville Bottle & Recycling Centre offers an accessible solution for the community.
“We are excited to expand our services in Parksville, making it easier for residents to responsibly dispose of their household hazardous waste,” said Mannie Cheung, VP Operations at Product Care. “This initiative aligns with our commitment to supporting communities across the province in their environmental stewardship.”
Residents are encouraged to visit Product Care’s website to learn more about the specific products accepted through the paint and HHW programs. By utilizing this local facility, Parksville residents can contribute to a safer and cleaner environment by keeping these products out of landfills and waterways.
