The goal of the Mayne Island Recycling Society is to provide a comprehensive recycling service to the Mayne Island community. This includes maximizing participation in recycling, educating the community in waste resource use and management, and to foster concepts and practices of conservation through a non-profit organization.

Recycling depot open Wednesdays in July and August!

Responding to high demand for recycling services in the busy summer months, the depot will be open for recycling on Wednesdays from 10am-2pm in July and August 2023. This is a trial run to see if summer weekday openings will continue in future years, so try it out and let us know what you think!

Thank you for joining the annual beach cleanup!


A big thank you to all beach captains, cleanup teams, recycling depot volunteers, and supporting businesses who took part in the annual beach cleanup! 154 volunteers removed over 10 cubic meters (10,000 litres) of material from the beaches, and sorted it at the Mayne Island Recycling depot. As part of a new partnership with Ocean Legacy Inc., we are diverting 70% of the material collected from the landfill to their recycling facility in Richmond, which specializes in recycling marine debris. Thanks to a team of adult and children volunteers organized by the Tsartlip First Nation Stewardship Department, the Helen Point reserve lands were included in the 2023 beach cleanup!
