Visitors to the Transfer Centre will notice a new donation bin. Installed on September 17 by the Thompson Nicola Regional District, all proceeds will go to Big Brothers Big Sisters Kamloops.
People can donate used clothing, bedding, curtains, shoes, books and small household items.
According Wilf Bennet, supervisor at the transfer station, some items were donated immediately following the box’s arrival and so far most residents were pleased to have a convenient drop-off location for items, as opposed to travelling to Kamloops.
Bennet said he sees many usable items thrown out every year, especially by seasonal workers leaving Sun Peaks, and hopes the new donation method will help to curb the waste.
