What's a Freestore?
What if an item doesn't qualify for the Freestore?
​
Another option is to check with the volunteers at the Nu-To-Yu community thrift store (4409 Bedwell Harbour Rd). They accept donations on Tues and Thurs from 9 AM to noon, and Saturdays from 11 am to 2 pm.
​
You can also advertise your item on Facebook in the Pender Online Market.
The Freestore is exactly what it sounds like - a place where donated items are made available to the community for free. It has a great selection of items awaiting a second life such as books, kitchenware, decor, board games, toys, plant pots, building hardware, and lots more. Everything is free, but of course donations are gratefully accepted.
​​
Please check with staff before dropping off any items for the Freestore. Items should be clean, in working order, and made of recyclable material. We sometimes make an exception if an item is in demand and we expect it be scooped up quickly!
We cannot accept clothing or textiles - these items do not fare well in the damp conditions of the store.
​
In the summer months when parking is limited and the depot is busy, we ask that you limit your stay so that recyclers can find parking.

What's a Reshop?
The Reshop has items on display that can be acquired by donation (negotiable).
You may find previously-used appliances, electronics, building supplies, sports equipment, tools, and more. Re-useable wine bottles for wine and kombucha making are available ($2/box of a dozen).
​
If you'd like to donate an item to the Reshop, please see a staff member. Or, call ahead (250 629 6962) or send us a photo (penderislandrecycling@gmail.com) to make sure that the type of item you'd like to donate is accepted.
