Letter: Reopen recycling depot in Westview

"I live in a care home and have previously walked to the well-run recycling depot just of Joyce Avenue and Alberni Street."

qathet Regional District's new resource-recovery centre [above], located between Townsite and Willingdon Beach, opened recently.

Why is qathet Regional District making recycling so difficult and time consuming?

I live in a care home and have previously walked to the well-run recycling depot just of Joyce Avenue and Alberni Street. The depot opened weekdays and Saturdays. It is now closed and left abandoned.

My closest one now is on the highway going south toward Saltery Bay, but it is not open either weekend day, plus it does not recycle compost. This must be taken to partway up the hill toward Townsite [“qRD directors pass resource-recovery borrowing bylaw,” November 29]. To my mind this makes no sense, especially when there is already too much driving which is unnecessary.

Please reopen one depot in Westview.
