RECYCLING CENTRE
The Nelson Leafs Recycling Centre (Bottle Depot) is located in the Star Transfer building at 120 Silica in Nelson.
The building is just by the entrance to Cottonwood Creek Park across the bridge
from Nelson Ford. The depot has been providing beverage container recycling
services for the Nelson Area since 1982. As the need for recycling has grown so
too has the bottle depot. As an authorized Encorp Pacific (Canada)
depot, the Leafs Recycling Centre accepts and refunds full deposit on literally
hundreds of beverage containers, including glass and plastic bottles, aluminium
pop cans, apple and tomato juice tins, bag-in-a-box and pouch containers, drink
cartons, and plastic jugs.
In addition to managing non-alcoholic beverage containers, in October 2001 Encorp Pacific (Canada) won the contract to manage wine, spirits, and imported beer and cooler containers. As a result, the Leafs’ Recycling Centre now pays full refund on all alcoholic beverage containers falling within the Encorp Pacific (Canada) management system.
For specific information concerning beverage containers that fall within the Encorp Pacific (Canada) management system, please visit the following links:
The Leafs Recycling Centre also accepts domestic refillable glass beer bottles and aluminium beer cans that fall under the stewardship of Brewers Distributors Ltd., a company owned by Molson and Labbatt Breweries. It is important to understand that the Leafs Recycling Centre cannot pay full refund on BDL products as BDL does not yet pay a handling fee for the containers we collect on their behalf. Prices paid vary, so please enquire at the depot if you have any questions, but keep in mind that 100% of the bottle depot’s net profit goes to supporting the Nelson Leafs.
Introducing: Electronic Recycling
The Nelson Leafs Recycling Centre is pleased to announce our new electronics recycling program. We now accept a number of electronic items at the depot, including computer equipment and televisions. For complete information on this exciting new program, including a list of the electronics products accepted, please visit the Encorp Pacific web site at www.encorp.ca.
Wanted: Milk Containers
The Nelson Leafs Recycling Centre is pleased to announce our new milk container recycling program, provided by the dairy industry and serviced by authorized Encorp Pacific beverage container recycling depots. All milk, cream, and milk substitute (soy and rice) containers are included in this program. This new service gives Nelson residents a new, effective way to dispose of milk containers in a responsible manner, and we’re proud to offer it.
When returning your milk containers, please make sure you thoroughly rinse them out and that all caps are removed.
For more information, visit Encorp Pacific.
With these new efforts, the Nelson Leafs Recycling Centre is on its way to becoming Nelson’s one-stop recycling centre, offering greater public convenience for general product recycling.
If your group is considering a bottle drive, the Recycling Centre can help with supplies and information that will help expedite the return process. Please don’t hesitate to ask for our assistance. Also, keep in mind that when you’re returning containers to the Recycling Centre they must be clean, all lids removed, and the labels left on and intact.
