After pressing pause on accepting yard waste and waste from construction products, tires, appliances and more on March 24 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thompson Nicola Regional District (TNRD) has announced they will be accepted again.
Physical distancing protocols have been implemented at each site, including increasing staffing levels to ensure physical distancing requirements are met. Fewer people will be allowed on each site at a time to promote space between users.
The TNRD asks the public adhere to the following procedures:
- Only visit disposal facilities when necessary
- Follow all directions of site attendants
- Ensure materials are pre-sorted and easy to unload
- Bring full loads to avoid multiple trips
- Minimize your time on site
As of April 1 the Sun Peaks transfer station is open for summer hours, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and closed Tuesdays and Fridays.
