Burnaby's Eco-Centre has been ranked the top collector for 2022 by the BC Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA).
The BCUOMA's criteria to determine top collectors includes the total amount of used oil, oil filters, oil containers, antifreeze and antifreeze containers collected at the location, the total number of years participating in BCUOMA's RCF program and a demonstration of continued support of BCUOMA and other recycling stewardship related programs.
"I am so proud of these collectors and how they have been operating their businesses," David Lawes, BCUOMA CEO, said in a news release.
"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 safe collection, handling, and storage.
"Every single one of these collectors contributes to keeping our loc al communities stronger and healthier due to their ongoing commitment to keeping oil, filters, antifreeze and their containers, out of landfills."
Abbotsford (GFL Environmental Depot), Maple Ridge (Ridge Meadows Recycling Society), Victoria (Hartland Landfill) and Aldergrove (Aldergrove Return-It Depot) rounded out the top five 2022 top collector award winners.
The Eco-Centre, located at 4855 Still Creek Dr., was also the top collector award winner in 2021.
