At least 10 bins were spraypainted on Thursday, the first day Rona began offering the service. People can bring in their bins between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at FVBS Rona, 451 Corbett St.
Rona began offering the service when there was a shortage of recycling stickers at district hall, there are now stickers available there.
Starting Oct. 31, residents of the District of Hope can no longer use blue bags for recycling, they should use bins with a lid not exceeding 121 litres (32 gallons).
