Expanded Hours at Transfer Sites out Westside Road
July brings more waste disposal opportunities at Transfer Stations
It’ll soon be more convenient for some Central Okanagan West Electoral Area residents to dispose of their waste and recycling. Beginning July 1, additional operating hours will be available for customers using the RDCO transfer stations at Traders Cove and North Westside.
Environmental Services Manager Travis Kendel says extending the hours at both facilities is a direct result of resident feedback garnered during a 2019 Transfer Station Operations and Service review. “Recommendations from that review and a resident survey indicated a strong desire from the community for longer hours at both facilities. In collaboration with our waste contractor E360 the hours are now being expanded.”
The North Westside Road Transfer Station has been operating Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. The new hours will now expand services each Saturday from 8 a.m. until 4.p.m.
For the Traders Cove Transfer Station, hours are being extended to include Saturdays, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
