Masks
Customers who enter our buildings (mainly COMMERCIAL customers dropping off recycling, cardboard or organics INSIDE) must wear a mask.
Customers are not required to wear masks outside on-site. Much of the interaction between OVWRC staff and customers continues to be outside. If proper physical distance cannot be maintained, masks should be worn.
Clothing Donation Bin
Our Canadian Diabetes Association Clothesline Bin at the Reuse Centre is currently NOT accepting donations due to COVID-19 as per the Diabetes Association. This applies for other charity clothing bins throughout the community as well. Please see announcement from Diabetes Canada.
To encourage physical distancing, customers will not be permitted to enter the scale house. All transactions will be completed through the small window with Plexiglas barrier adjacent to the scale. We accept debit, credit card and cash as payment.
To reduce unnecessary trips to our site please combine small quantity loads to one trip. A minimum fee of $20 (Partner Municipalities), $30 (Non-Partner Municipalities) applies for most materials weighing less than 200 kgs.
Staff and visitor safety is top priority. Expect delays at the site due to the requirement for physical distancing and increased sanitizing practices. At times, we will be giving priority to commercial customers.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to keep our staff and the community safe.
