This is how it all began
A journey marked by environmental passion, community spirit, and the conviction that small actions can create big change
The spark of an idea
By august 2022, we had shifted gears, focusing on education, management, and industrial programs to build a solid foundation for sustainability.
From August 2022 to December 2023, the centre effectively managed an astounding 93,000 pounds of solid waste, wich translates to over 42,000 kilograms in just 17 months. 71 percent of this waste is glass, while cardboard, plastic, aliminium cans and tetrapak make up the remaining 29 percent.
Building our home
Thanks to a combination of grants, community fundraising, and a generous land donation from the Henderson family, we began the construction of our permanent headquarters. The 15,000-square-foot center was designed with a sustainable approach: solar panels, a rainwater collection system, and energy-efficient sorting equipment.
Our grand opening brought together more than 1,000 community members. Seeing families, students, and seniors working side by side to create something meaningful… that was when we realized we hadn’t just built a recycling center. We had built a community.
The heart of our mission
Our volunteers are the driving force behind everything we do. Their dedication, creativity, and unwavering commitment to caring for the environment inspire us every day.
