Update on Transfer Station

A new report from Elna Strand on the transfer station:

I talked to the TNRD rep. who was issuing the resident's cards at Lac Le Jeune and I learned the following things.

1. The new transfer station hours will begin January 1. They will be 9-12 on Wednesdays and 2-5 on Sundays. I assume the first day will be Sunday January 3rd. (If you are at the transfer station before then please check with Gord to be sure.)

2. The TNRD knows that Dec. 23 was not a good day to issue the identity cards and our new punch cards. There will be another opportunity to pick them up at the transfer station sometime in January. The date has not been decided.

3. If you cannot pick up your card at the transfer station please call Adriana Mailloux at the TNRD office at 1-877-377-8673 or 250-377-7199, to make other arrangements.

4. If you have unused eco punch cards.-(cards with no punches used)- you can take them to the TNRD in Kamloops for a refund.

5. Under the new system, Lac Le Jeune transfer station will only take household garbage and recyclables. Items such as mattresses, large furniture, appliances and construction waste will have to be taken to Logan Lake. You can use your existing purchased punch card to dispose of these items.

I'll let you know when the TNRD will be out at the transfer station again to issue our new punch cards.

Happy New Year,
Elna Strand
