Posted on the Mayor's Facebook page:

There’s nothing safe about a site that creates disorder for the surrounding community. On behalf of Kelowna City Council, I am asking Health Canada to deny the renewal of the federal authorization for the supervised consumption site at Outreach Urban Health downtown.

Since the site opened in 2021, there have been 3,466 RCMP calls for service related to the site or its immediate surroundings, along with 371 medical incidents, 24 outdoor fires and 420 calls for bylaw service beyond routine daily interventions.

We cannot continue accepting these impacts on public safety in our downtown. People struggling with addiction deserve real pathways to treatment and recovery. And the people who live, work and run businesses downtown deserve to feel safe.

It’s time to shut down a site that is not working and prioritize treatment, recovery and mandatory compassionate care for those who need it most.

Do any of you other 3d printing enthusiasts recycle your scrap filament? If so, how, and do they only accept certain types of filament?

I am mostly interested in local options but if you go through the whole process of shipping it away somewhere I'd be interested in combining parcels and sharing shipping (I'm not very active thus I don't produce much scrap).

Thanks
