Hello everyone today I'm gonna be taking you on a driving tour of the garbage dump in Kelowna, British, Columbia, Canada
This landfill is located at the north end of Kelowna just off of Glenmore Road
So once you arrive at the dump, you're gonna wait in a line up to get on to the scale
This is where the way your vehicle will also weigh your vehicle on the way out
And then they can tell how much garbage you've dropped off
So when the light turns green we're just gonna pull on to the scale there
And
You're if you're just dropping off the minimum amount of garbage
Then they may take your payment at this point as well
Over on the right-hand side there. You can see the general purpose dump. This is for household garbage
You can back up to those blue bins and throw your garbage into there later on in the tour
We're gonna check out all the the big drop-off locations at the back and as well stick around to the end. There's the recycling location
So as you can see on the right hand side these bins you can just back right up to them and throw your your trash
Right in there
Up here as well. They also have separate bins from mattresses scrap metal and drywall
Let's head on back down to the main road and head to the back of the dump where the larger drop-off areas are
You have to go the washroom there is little washroom up here as well for your convenience
We'll follow this dump truck here
On the left-hand side there is the moby-dick under car wash
so if your
Car is all muddy or your truck you can drive on there and they'll spray the underside wash off all the mud there as well
So on the right hand side coming up here this is where you would drop off all the wood that you have
First off is gonna be your logs and stumps. They do grind this up and chip it up into small pieces you
Can see the chipper working back there
After that is your your clean wood your lumber two-by-fours plywood that sort of thing would all go in there
Later on, there is a stained and treated wood area
So this area is your yard prunings your branches your grass clippings that sort of thing all gets dropped off in this area
So if you're cleaning up your yard you just back up here and throw it all in there
So on the right here this is your clean fill drop area
So dirt and soil can get dropped off there. And this big white mound is your drywall and gypsum drop off
Here's a Nashville shingle drop off so you can drop those off here as well
This is kind of a cool thing they have at the dump
There's a fire-training facility made out of shipping containers there on the right hand side
The local fire departments can light that on fire and just train and do safety stuff there
So that's kind of cool. This is your stained and painted treated lumber. This is where you would drop that off
So a little further down the road here we've got your concrete drop-off so concrete cuttings or scraps
The tire drop-off we've got appliances so fridges stoves that sort of thing
dishwashers
And then we get into the metal scrap so there's tons of metal here hot water tanks all that kind of stuff wire mesh
So we'll head out of this larger drop area and we can head over to the compost
Landscaping area this is where they do the the mulch the Glen grow and the oboe grow
I'll put a link to the dump down in the description below
You can check out their website and it describes a little bit more about the mulch and different things that they make
So back here is where they do the the composting you can purchase that to put out in your yard in your Gardens
So we'll head on back out to the scale and weigh the vehicle I did drop off my stuff there in the mean time
We've in line here and they will weigh our vehicle again
And then they'll tell us what the difference is in weight and charge us accordingly. The next lane over is the commercial vehicles
They they get weighed and can get through quickly
And if you paid on the way in the far right lane, you can just drive through and leave when you're all done
So we'll pull out onto the scale here
in a moment, we'll also
Head out to the recycling area and check that out
All right, so we'll head into the recycling area
and
They've got some new garbage cans there for residential customers. I guess that's where they store them on the right here
you will see a bunch of propane tanks and
Then all these recycling bins, so there's different ones there's styrofoam white styrofoam colored styrofoam
Cardboard as well. There's a few different bins. So you just get out and throw your stuff into the recycle bins
They've also got some donation bins if you have clothes that sort of thing
