Fall has arrived and things are slowing down once again at the recycling depot.

Thank you to Reina LeBaron and her models who organized a fantastic free store fashion show. Thank you to Eleanora Laffin and Morgot Bushnell for displaying your fabulous quilts made from free store materials. Thank you to Don Innes and Catherine Cross for the recycling craft display. Thank you Dave Mills for sharing your recycled art with us. Thank you to Peter Huron, Tony Wilson, and Bill Smith for making some eclectic music for us that afternoon. And thanks to the Kritters for rocking the depot till closing. A special thank you to Jon Laskin for making us a special 40th anniversary cake. Fun was had by all. Thank you to the recycling committee , the free store volunteers and the staff for making this event such a memorable experience.
Thanks to everyone who bought a 40th anniversary celebration T-Shirt. We are almost sold out but have a few left for sale at the depot.
Tessa Mythos has started to artistically paint our firefighting tank. Come and check out her progress next time you are at the recycling depot. We are looking forward to see the finished product.
We have switched back to regular pricing and a regular bag of garbage is $3.50 a small bag is $1.75 and a large bag is $6.00. We are also now closed on Thursdays to the public. Currently we are working on the 2019 operating budget for the recycling program witch will be presented to the HIRRA membership this fall.
A big thank you to all the volunteers who spent hours sorting at the free store, making the Free Store possible for the residents and visitors of Hornby Island.
See you all on depot hill.
