Re-Loadable Eco-Cards

TNRD residents and businesses can now get re-loadable Eco-Cards for use at TNRD solid waste facilities.  Eco-Cards can be loaded with funds at home or on the go using our new customer portal website. These new Eco-Cards are replacing the $10, $20 and $50 punch eco-card system currently in place.

There are 3 ways to set up your new re-loadable Eco-Card:

  1. Visit local Eco-Depot or Transfer Station. The site attendant can register you and give you your new re-loadable Eco-Card, which will be ready to use right away.
  2. Register online here, by filling out the Registration Form. Please allow 1-2 weeks to receive your card if registering online.
  3. Call the TNRD at 250 377-2596, and we can register you over the phone. Please allow 1-2 weeks to receive your card if registering by phone.

New accounts come with a one-time $10 welcome credit from the TNRD.

How to Use your Eco-Card

  1. When you arrive at a TNRD site, follow instructions to enter the scale for Eco-Depots or stop at attendant office for transfer stations.
  2. Present your re-loadable Eco-Card to the attendant.
  3. Confirm your name and address
  4. Follow instructions for depositing your materials
  5. Once load is dropped off your ticket will be finalized and a receipt emailed to you or printed if you wish.

Set your account number using the number found on the back side of your Eco-Card. Note: Your bank may require a minimum amount of digits for a Payee account number; if your Eco-Card number is too short, please add the number 0 to your Payee account number. (e.g. 000123 instead of 123).

IMPORTANT: If paying by online banking, please send payment at least 3-4 business days prior to the due date of payment. This will ensure your E-Transfer is received by the TNRD before the due date. Please contact your bank if you have a concern regarding their payment processing deadline.
