Winter is here and things are still very busy up on Depot Hill. This is supposed to be this slow season. Since we recently started to compact and bale hard plastics in addition to the soft plastics which we already bale our workload has changed; and wow… there is a lot of hard plastics that needs baling. A big thank you to staff who have been instrumental realizing RecycleBC’s request and baling even more materials and thus reducing the carbon footprint of our little organization.
We will look into the possibilities of perhaps baling even more materials as we are moving forward.
Judith Walmsley has resigned from the recycling committee and the committee is looking for a new member. If you are interested or know of someone who might be interested in joining the recycling committee, please contact Jan Kennedy.
A special thank you to Margaret Gardner who has taken care of our books for many many years and now has moved to Vancouver Island. Margaret’s hard work and dedication will be missed and we hope that she will visit us often.
Thank you to all the volunteers who come to the free store and donate so much of their time sorting and stocking free store items. Without their dedication the free store would not be what it is today.
Thank you also to the Depot staff, our contractors, the recycling committee and everyone at HIRRA for all you do to help our little depot along.
The holiday season is upon us and for your gift giving ideas do not forget that our Free Store has a vast selection at unbeatable prices and the best return policy on the island. Enjoy the season.
Happy holidays from everyone up on Depot Hill
