The Galiano Island Recycling Resources Society is funded in a variety of ways.
- Currently the CRD and Recycle BC fund our Residential Packaging and Paper Product Program (PPP/Blue Box).
- Our “End of Life” Stewardship Programs are funded through your generous donations and memberships, with a small payment for materials from Encorp Pacific Canada and Product Care Association.
- Your generous donations and memberships are also the sole funding source for our beloved ReDirectory and Used Books Program.
- Our Refundable Materials Program is also an important funding source for us, so please keep bringing us your refundable beverage containers!
