Two Sunshine Coast businesses are among 30 across the province that received awards from the BC Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA).
The 2020 Long Time Service Award was given to Pender Harbour Diesel Co. for its efforts to collect used oil and antifreeze since the non-profit association began in 2003.
The 2020 awards are the BCUOMA’s second annual awards, and added two new categories including Most Improved and the Long Time Service Award. The Top Collector Awards thanks the return collection facilities that commit to recycling used lubricating oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers in British Columbia.
Sechelt’s Columbia Fuels was 29th on the Top Collectors list from companies across the province.
“These B.C. organizations are some of the most dedicated used oil and antifreeze Return Collection Facilities in Canada,” David Lawes, the CEO of BCUOMA, said in a press release.
“Their efforts were even more impressive throughout 2020 due to the pandemic, as they had to navigate their way through many additional challenges to ensure their customers were comfortable and safe while returning their materials.
“We feel proud to work with such professional businesses across the province, and we are honoured to provide them with these awards that recognize their commitment to BCUOMA’s RCF program, and their continued outstanding performance.”
