An Abbotsford business has placed first out of 30 businesses that have been named Top Collector Award winners by non-profit organization Interchange Recycling.

GFL Environmental Depot took top spot among those honoured for their exemplary performance and dedication to the collection and recycling of used oil, antifreeze, oil filters and automotive containers across B.C. in 2023.

Interchange Recycling’s criteria to determine the top collectors included:

• the total amount of used oil and antifreeze collected at the facility;

• the total number of years participating in Interchange Recycling’s public return facility program; and

• a demonstration of continued support of Interchange Recycling and other recycling stewardship-related programs.

“We wanted to recognize these 30 facilities who collected the most in 2023, and recognize them for going above and beyond to provide an important service to local residents,” said David Lawes, CEO of Interchange Recycling (formerly BC Used Oil Management Association).

GFL Environmental Depot is located at 34613 Vye Rd. and accepts antifreeze, antifreeze containers, oils, oil containers and oil filters. The depot is open from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday.
