CloseDrywall Collection Suspended at Pender Harbour Transfer Station
Due to site safety concerns, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) has suspended collection of drywall at the Pender Harbour Transfer Station.
During a recent inspection, serious issues were discovered with the concrete pad that the drywall bin sits on. As a result, it is not safe for our hauling contractor to service bins from the pad until it is rebuilt.
A new pad is part of the Pender Harbour Transfer Station site updates project that is due to get underway this fall.
Until a new pad is in place or an alternative method of collection can be implemented, drywall collection will only be available at the Sechelt Landfill. Visit www.scrd.ca/landfill for information about the site and www.scrd.ca/asbestos for details about what is accepted for drywall recycling.
The SCRD appreciates the community’s understanding with this disruption to service. Updates on resumption of drywall collection will be provided when available.
