Recycling & Garbage Update

Hello community,

This message is to let you know that updated recycling guidelines for Thetis Island have been posted. Click here to view. 

At this time I would like to warmly thank our dedicated volunteers.  Volunteers are on site to help you sort your recycling. If occasionally you are in a hurry to the ferry and have a small amount to drop off, volunteers may be willing to sort on your behalf.

Please do not drop off large bags of unsorted and/or unclean recycling. We rely on you to stay and sort your items. Our friendly volunteers are happy to help you with this, as we understand that the categories can be confusing. For example, all clear plastic is not in the same category. It takes quite a bit of practice to keep it all straight.

Also, if you have a large amount, please make sure you come well before the noon closing. We don't want to burn out our fabulous volunteers!

There is no doubt about it, it takes a lot of effort to recycle properly. We really appreciate everyone's commitment to doing the best they can, and we know that none of us are perfect! The updated recycling guidelines in the link above are a very helpful resource to have printed out and handy wherever you do your recycling at home. 

Thanks a bunch and see you all soon!

Stephanie Cottell
