Vancouver Reuse and Recycling Drop Off Event - MVCU
In this episode of Metro Vancouver Close Up, unwanted appliances, textiles, and other items were diverted from landfill at a reuse and recycling drop-off event in Vancouver's West End. The City of Vancouver regularly organizes these events, which contributes to a circular economy in the region.
