About Our Team

A volunteer board of directors ensures that the recycling depot is managed responsibly and continues to meet the evolving needs of the Pender Island community.

​

Dedicated depot staff sort, bale, and truck the tonnes of recyclables that are delivered to the recycling depot every year. Each staff member brings a unique background and skill set to the team.

​

The board and staff share a strong belief in the value of recycling, while aiming to support the principles of reduce and reuse first wherever possible.
