It is open Wednesdays to Sundays from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, allowing residents to drop off larger items as well as household waste, cardboard recycling, compost and a drop off for used oil, batteries, steel, appliances, tires and old cars.

Recycling
Recycling bins are located at 10115 MacDougall Street, beside the local grocery store. You can recycle the following items there: glass, plastic, cardboard, newsprint, paper, tin cans, aluminum and milk cartons. A bottle drop shed is also located beside the recycling bins and is used by many different community groups to fund-raise.
CFC light bulbs, old cell phones and any rechargeable batteries can be recycled at the District Office. When you first walk into the District Office, before going up the stairs, you will see a plastic waste can where you can drop off the light bulbs, a cardboard box that you can drop off the rechargeable batteries and cell phones and a wooden box where you can drop off the non-rechargeable batteries. These drop boxes are all labelled for your convenience.
The Electronic Recycling Association is a not for profit organization with a mission to reduce electronic waste and the negative impact it has on the environment by reusing and recycling unwanted computers, laptops and other electronic equipment. We tend to prevent unwanted electronics from ending up in landfills or being prematurely disposed of and recycled when there is somebody that can still use them, maximize the life span of computers by refurbishing and donating them to your local charities and other not for profit organizations at no cost, and, if the equipment is not suitable for donation, recycle it in an environmentally friendly way.
Large Item Clean Up
Every spring the District performs a Large Item Clean Up for the residents of Hudson’s Hope. The Public Works crew will pick up large items from residents who need help transporting these items to the Transfer Station. Damage Waivers must be completed with your name, civic address or the location of the item(s), telephone number and which item(s) you want picked up. Items need to be placed ON THE CURB/PROPERTY LINE. The District staff will not go onto private property. Gas tanks and tires need to be removed from vehicles prior to pick up for safety and environmental reasons. A sticker for each item will be provided by the District and must be affixed to the items for pick up.
