Small Appliances/Electronics Can Be Recycled!
Recycle your office electronics (computers, cables, monitors, TV’s, etc.), small kitchen and household appliances. So often our household goods pile up in garages, closets and storage bins because we simply don’t know what to do with them, where to drop them off or who will take them.
We can take your household goods off your hands and ensure they are properly recycled. Simply drop your items off at our Kelowna Recycling Centre during business hours. Recycling really is that easy! We can recycle virtually all the electronics in your home including but not limited to microwaves, computers, TV’s, small kitchen appliances, coffee pots, vacuums, heaters, irons, fans, scales, lamps, shavers, clocks, power tools, space heaters, power lawn tools, hair dryers and more.

Bulb Recycling
Light bulbs are fragile items and often mishandled, but that’s a risk you don’t have to take. Light bulbs come in a whole range of sizes, shapes and materials. Whether you have incandescent bulbs, halogen, compact fluorescent or LED bulbs, we will handle them correctly and recycle all parts possible.
In BC, we are helping to reach the goal of recycling 100% of the lighting products we recover. By recycling your used lamp and lighting products, you divert hazardous waste from our local landfills and help the environment. You also reduce the need for raw materials to manufacture new products. LightRecycle is the BC fluorescent lights recycling program established by ReGeneration.
Recycling light bulbs of all sizes and configurations.
Older incandescent light bulb recycling.
Halogen, CFL & LED bulbs accepted.
Fluorescent bulbs with mercury accepted for drop-offs.
Decorative Light Strings (miniature bulbs)
We Also Accept Lamps

Paint is toxic and not sustainable.
Paint is bad for sewers, landfill and the environment.
Paint must be disposed of properly.
