Six Interior businesses were among the top 30 collectors of used oil and antifreeze material in the province last year.
Interchange Recycling on Thursday announced the winners of its fifth annual Top Collector Awards, which are given to the B.C. businesses that collecting the most used oil and antifreeze.

Penticton’s Barry Beecroft Fuel Distributors placed 19th, and the Great Canadian Oil Change on Kelowna’s Richter Street was No. 20. Rounding out the Interior winners were Kelowna’s Desert Cardlock Fuel Services (22) and Kamloops’ Castle Fuels (28).
