We had to break some sad news to a couple who called us to their home today to recycle some of their accumulated garage detritus.
Fortunately, we had only told them the good news minutes before, so their emotional investment was more flash-excitement than deep-rooted ecstasy.
The good news?
Recently the Cowichan Valley Regional District started accepting Styrofoam for recycling at Bings Creek Transfer Station.
The foam is dealt with by a non-profit organization out of Nanaimo with a mobile compacting machine.
The sad news?
It appears the program has been so popular and the response so great, for whatever reason the amount of material is not being dealt with fast enough.
So, at this point the CVRD's bins are chock-o-block full and we were told they are no longer accepting it. At least not right now.
We hope this changes.
The idea is obviously one whose time has come. Hopefully the mobile compactor will come too.
Until then, we can still find a home for your Styrofoam if you'd like it recycled.
