The Pender Island Recycling Depot accepts most recyclable materials during open hours. Items we take: plastic containers and bags, refundable beverage containers (all types, including: glass, plastic, cans, wine boxes), milk and soup cartons, glass jars and containers, paper and cardboard products, shredded paper (in a paper bag ONLY), tin cans, aluminum foil, scrap metal, small appliances & powe

r tools, large appliances (fee applies), batteries (alkaline and rechargeable, as well as car batteries), cell phones, printers, paint and paint containers (with labels still attached), electronics, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, light bulbs (also fluorescent/compact fluorescent), lighting fixtures, CDs, DVDs, VCR and cassette tapes. You can also bring recyclable items for reuse in our Free Store. Please check with staff before dropping anything off for the Free Store. Bicycles are for sale as-is, if you are handy you can find a great bargain and get yourself an affordable pair of wheels. The Pender Island Recycling Society is a not-for-profit organization which was founded in January 1989 by grassroots volunteers as an alternative to a garbage transfer station on Pender Island. With lots of local support and a $5 sign-up fee for members, PIRS was up and running. We very much appreciate your support in keeping us in operation!

Good morning Pender, this is your early summer reminder that we do not accept garden hoses or cracked bike helmets, as they aren't recyclable under any of our programs! Thank you:)

We are bidding a bittersweet goodbye to Celene, who is moving on after nearly seventeen years of working at Pender Recycling. It's impossible to spend time at the depot without seeing her impact, and her legacy will live on through her beautiful artwork.

Best of luck to Celene and Liam, thank you for everything❤️
