[ARCHIVED] Way to Recycle, Cowichan!

Refundables Appreciation

Way to recycle, Cowichan!  

We wanted to commend you for putting our community first by donating your refundable beverage containers at CVRD Recycling Centres.

Through the CVRD’s partnership with Island Return It, all proceeds from refundables are donated to a local charity each month. In 2021, this resulted in $68,000 going toward local non-profit groups with $10,600 from Meade Creek, $46,600 from Bings Creek, and $10,800 from Peerless Road Recycling Centres. These groups include:

  • WildSafeBC
  • Big Brothers & Big Sisters
  • Cowichan Search and Rescue
  • Cowichan Family Life
  • Cowichan Bay Estuary Centre
  • BC SPCA Cowichan & District Branch
  • Cowichan Valley Regional Visitor Centre
  • Duncan Historical Firefighter Society
  • Cowichan District Hospital Foundation
  • Handmade Hugs
  • Honeymoon bay Firefighter Society
  • Cowichan Family Caregivers Support Society

Help care for our community and support local initiatives by recycling your refundable beverage containers at Bings Creek, Meade Creek, and Peerless Road Recycling Centres or Island Return It donation bins.
