No stumps, needles, pipe cones, grass, concrete, rocks, asphalt, etc. Pre-registration is required by June 30 - just include your name and lake address - email to: hayescreekfire@ospreylake.ca
Please dispose of smaller yard waste at the Princeton Dump with unlimited FREE 'green' dumping. Do not deposit yard waste in ravines or forests which it can add to the fuel load for forest fires.

Refundable Containers
Want to donate your refundable containers to Hayes Creek Fire? - but it's not convenience - well we now have a solution - you can just drop them off at ANY Return It Express location in BC, print off a label using our account # 250 295 3300 and stick it on the clear bag - no line ups, no having to bring the bottle/cans to the fire hall.
Update - Return It has been getting cans that are squished so the bar code can not be read - they are then just recycled with no refund. (Just so the strong men out there know that)
