New Drop Off Location for Residential Yard & Garden Waste

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS

 NEW DROP OFF LOCATION FOR

RESIDENTIAL YARD AND GARDEN WASTE

The current yard and garden waste drop off facility for View Royal residents at Canteen Road will be closed as of June 30th, 2016. The Canteen Road location has become uneconomical due to the volume of yard and garden material being processed and the need for the contractor to handle this material multiple times.

As of July 1st, 2016, residents can drop off their yard and garden waste at a new location at:

Trio Landscape Supply located at 109 Hallowell Road (at the corner of Admirals Road) across from the entrance to Admirals Walk Shopping Centre in View Royal. Trio is open 7 days per week including statutory holidays. For hours of operation, or for more information, please contact Trio Landscape Supply by phone at (250) 658-5235 or visit the website at www.triolandscapesupply.com.

As before, residents can also use Ellice Recycle, located at 524 David Street off Bridge Street in Victoria. Ellice is open 7 days per week excluding statutory holidays. For hours of operation, or for more information, please contact Ellice Recycle by phone at (250) 386-4342 or visit the website at www.ellicerecycle.com.

With the two locations and expanded operating hours, this program will offer more flexibility for our residents.

There will continue to be no charge at the gate to drop off yard and garden waste for residents of View Royal and Esquimalt. Proof of residency is required by showing the facility operator valid vehicle registration. Residential decals for vehicle windshields are available at both facilities for those residents who use either facility regularly.

This new drop-off program will be assessed over the next six months to determine ease of use for residents and economic feasibility. The Capital Regional District is currently considering options for integrated waste management within the region in which yard and garden waste could become integrated into the overall waste management stream. Currently, all yard and garden waste material collected through this drop off program is recycled into compost and reused within the region.
