About Our Team


The PIRS Board of Directors and Recycling Depot staff share a strong belief in the value of recycling, while aiming to support the principles of reduce and reuse first wherever possible.
A five-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.
Every year tonnes of paper, plastic, metal, glass, batteries, paint and more is delivered to the Pender Island Recycling Depot and eleven dedicated staff process all of it.
Each staff member brings a unique background and skill set to the team and all of them are united in the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle.
