Once again, we are finding regular incorrect sorting at the returnable bottles site making life difficult for those who manage the site in support of the local School. Non-refundable containers and recyclables are being left at the site adding to the already large workload of keeping all those bottles sorted to maximize funding for our little school. TIRRA and TIPA together implore residents and their visitors to be respectful in the handling of their recycle and returnable items. Recyclable items not accepted on Thetis need to be taken off island to a local recycling depot such as Peerless or Bings Creek.
Some helpful hints: Virtually all types of ready-to-drink beverage containers can be returned, please check the signage at the site to be sure. Containers such as coffee cream and soup broth are not “ready to drink” and are not accepted.
We want to thank our faithful community for continuing to support our school with your consistent donations!
