Return-It Express And Go - Coming In The New Year

It’s not quite ready for business yet, but there will soon be a new, although temporary, option to recycle your returnables in the Comox Valley.

The solar-powered Express & GO station is being set up at Comox Mall - it arrived over the weekend.

Crews will take the next few weeks getting things organized and operational.

The Town says the interim solution recognizes the gap in service until a larger multi-material recycling depot is established.

Users will bring their unsorted containers in clear plastic bags to the Express & Go, where they will be sorted and counted - then, a credit will be applied to customers' online accounts.

More details will be made available through Return It and the Comox Mall closer to its opening.
