About Our Team

A six-person volunteer board of directors, led by Chair Anne Kaye, is responsible for ensuring the recycling depot is managed responsibly and continues to meet the evolving needs of the Pender Island community.

​

Twelve 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.
