The Cummings Road Regional transfer station in Pineview reopened Thursday.
It had been closed since June to make way for $2.04 mlllion worth of work that included improvements to traffic flow and more access points to increase safety for site users, haulers and staff.
"Previously, the transfer station infrastructure was outdated and no longer accommodated the demands residents put on the site. It had outgrown its design, resulting in traffic jams, safety concerns and limited recycling opportunities," Fraser-Fort George Regional District said in a statement.
FFGRD is in the process of defining the catchment area for the considered implementation of pass cards in 2022. Currently there is no charge to residents dropping off recycling items, and this will continue when pass cards are implemented, officials said.
Funding for the work came from the Canada Community-Building Fund, which in turn is funded by the federal gas tax and administered by the Union of British Columbia Municipalities.
