E-Waste Recycling
PACE has been at the forefront of e-waste recycling since the mid 1990's. Our crews pick up e-waste such as computers, home entertainment units, printers and small appliances from various landfills in the Okanagan, then sorts, packs and readies it for transport to a provincial recycling facility. In 2021, our crews recycled over 3000 tvs, and over 88 metric tonnes of electronics

Construction Waste Sort
Located at Okanagan Falls landfill and run by Wildstone Construction and Engineering, construction and demolition waste is placed on a large conveyor belt and a crew sorts it into bins. Metal, rock/cement, plastic material, insulation, roofing material and items such as hot water tanks and sinks are separated from untreated wood, and recycled.
