ZERO WASTE CHALLENGE
The Zero Waste Challenge is about reducing our waste. All of us make decisions everyday that impact how much garbage we send to the landfill.
To facilitate our decision Metro Vancouver has created
an online database that list the most convenient locations to donate or recycle the stuff we no longer want.
If someone else can use your items, sell them online.
Here some of those sites:
* Craigslist
* Freecycle BC
* BuySell
* Ecofreek
* Kijiji
* UsedVancouver
* Metrovan Reuses
* Helping Families in Need Society
If no one can use your items, or you are Refurbishing or Moving Out. Please arrange for your Household Junk Removal
