Collection for recycling will occur bi-weekly, please see the map and schedule here to find your collection day.
If you’re unable to have your recycling out for collection, residents are encouraged to take advantage of the local Recycling Centres. Locations include:
- Invermere Transfer Station (next to Public Works on Industrial 1 Rd, Invermere)
- Invermere Bottle Depot & Recycle Centre (133 Industrial 2 Rd, Invermere)
- Columbia Valley Landfill (1875 Windermere Loop Rd, Windermere)
You can also drop off certain items at the RDEK’s yellow bins around town. Only certain bins take glass.
By practicing the 3Rs — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — we can conserve resources, extend the life of our landfill, and save money.
