Summer Ambassador Program 2024
It’s that time of year again! The Summer Ambassador Program is up and running. We have hired two ambassadors who will be travelling all around the province to represent Tire Stewardship BC (TSBC) and Interchange Recycling. The ambassadors will attend community events where they will engage with the public and educate them about the importance of recycling scrap tires and used oil and antifreeze materials. They will be increasing brand awareness and helping reduce waste in our province.
Mission
Interact with the residents of BC in a fun and engaging way to promote and encourage recycling of Tire Stewardship BC and Interchange Recycling program materials across the province.
Goal
Collaborate with various community and auto-focused events across BC from June - August 2024, by creating interactive on-site promotional displays for Interchange Recycling and Tire Stewardship BC on their respective tour dates.
Take a look at where the ambassadors will be travelling this summer. Make sure to stop by their booth to learn about TSBC or Interchange Recycling and grab some cool swag!

About Tire Stewardship BC
Tire Stewardship BC is a not-for-profit society formed to accept responsibility for the provincial scrap tires recycling program. Tire Stewardship BC was founded in 2003 by the Tire & Rubber Association of Canada, The Retail Council of Canada, and the Western Canada Tire Dealers, with the addition of the New Car Dealers Association of BC in 2007, and it continues to be governed by a Board that is made up of representatives from these four organizations. Tire Stewardship BC focuses on collecting scrap vehicle and bike tires and recycling them into new things including playground surfaces, athletic tracks, horse mats, and garden mulch. Since 1991, over 100 million tires have been recycled in B.C. For more information visit https://tsbc.ca/.
About Interchange Recycling
Formed in 2003, Interchange Recycling (previously BC Used Oil Management Association) is a collaborative, not-for-profit group dedicated to the collection and recycling of used lubricating oil, used antifreeze and automotive containers in BC. Each year approximately 50 million litres of oil, and 3 million litres of antifreeze are collected and responsibly managed through Interchange Recycling’s network of public recycling centres and generators across the province. Assisted by manufacturers and first sellers of oil and antifreeze products, Interchange Recycling’s goal is to provide all British Columbians with a convenient, free, and eco-friendly way to recycle program materials. 99.6 per cent of British Columbians currently have reasonable access to recycling location.
