CRD Resources

A 3R encyclopedia (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). A resource for residents of the Capital Regional District, which includes Pender Island, for identifying how to reduce, reuse and recycle. Residents and businesses get the environmental story behind the items they use. The site also highlights reuse options and alternative products available within the CRD.
