June 2024 update regarding the institution of a tipping fee:
In June 2024 the cost of providing our services increased significantly. This was the result of a transportation company discontinuing their service in our area and the subsequent disruption to the flow of materials. We are of the understanding that this is a temporary situation and are hopeful that by this fall all operations, and costs, will return to normal.
Regrettably, due to the low margins we operate under, we have to pass most of this added expense onto our customers. We have done so by means of the ‘tipping fee’ which started in June and will continue only as long as necessary. Having said that, we understand that this effects the budgets and margins of our clients and hope that the extra expense can be tolerated.
The two greatest factors that effect this industry are: 1) supply verses demand and 2) the cost of getting the material collected to market. As a result of the diligent efforts of our clients, and others who are reducing their environmental footprint, there is an abundant supply of material for recycling. The down side of this is that we are now waiting for the demand to match the volume of material in the supply chain. This would increase the value of the materials collected and help offset the second greatest factor, ever increasing shipping costs.
Some of our longtime clients may recall that once before, due to market fluctuations, Blue Jewel implemented a tipping fee. We are proud to say that as soon as the market allowed, we removed that extra fee. Now, as we find ourselves forced to institute this additional fee, we also wish to assure you that as soon as the market allows, we will remove it.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. If you have any questions or need to contact us, please see how you can do so by visiting our contact page.
Sincerely,
Duane Culham

January 2018 update:
Yes it is true we have moved our office to Prince Rupert, however, there will be no changes to our service in the Prince George area. Actually our office has been operating out of Prince Rupert since September 2015 when we moved there for family reasons, we have now just made it official. Please see our 'Contact' page for our new mailing address and fax number. All other contact and company information remains unchanged.
