Recycling
The Council of the R.M. of Victoria encourages recycling: please do your part! We all know how important it is to recycle. We create a lot of waste which will eventually fill our landfill site if we don’t all make a conscious effort to prevent this from happening.
Better yet, when you purchase articles, buy those with the least amount of packaging, or buy in bulk. Try to buy recycled articles and only buy those articles that you truly need.
The Municipality of Victoria also offers E-Waste Recycling at the Holland Waste Transfer Station. E-Waste Recycling is available during regular hours of operation.
Avoid disposable items when at all possible.
