3 pointsby markrankinabout 7 years ago
I ask this as our local landfill facility will reach capacity by 2039.<p>We used to ship our recyclables to China but they do not accept it anymore.<p>Below is a link to our landfill facility website.<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.crd.bc.ca&#x2F;service&#x2F;waste-recycling&#x2F;hartland-landfill-facility<p>Thanks for your help!<p>- Mark
