Pender Island Recycling Depot, since 1989
welcome to our website

Depot staff member, Michelle Marsden, appears to hold up the planet under the weight of all the stuff humans seem to have trouble living without. She's standing on the recycling from one day at the recycling depot, May 29, 2010. Click Gulf Oil Spill: I'm Responsible, Too to read Richard Philpot's story about this photograph.

We have only ten Earth Machine composters left, click reuse ideas and education for details.

We hope that this website will help you with your household recycling and your visits to the depot, and will make you more aware of how your choices impact Pender Island and the planet as a whole.

We would appreciate it if you would let us know if you have used this website and found it to be useful, and if you have any suggestions on how to make it better.

Please remember to renew your annual $10 household membership. Thanks.

If it can't be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production - words from If It Can't Be Reduced by iconic folk musician and political activist Pete Seeger on his CD, Pete Seeger at 89.
