Habitat for Humanity Sunshine Coast

Building Homes. Building Hope.

Volunteer Posting: Recycling Team

One of the largest sources of funding for Habitat’s work on the Sunshine Coast is our recycling program.

How it works

The municipal recycling bins in Gibsons and Sechelt have special bins for refundable containers. Twice weekly, volunteers sort and prepare these containers, and return them for refunds which support Habitat’s efforts.

Without our recycling program we would not have been able to build our first house on North Road in Gibsons or our second on Reef Road in Sechelt.

Imagine how many returnable cans and bottles it will take to build our 14 Suncoast Village homes!

How you can help

Teams work in both Gibsons and Sechelt every Tuesday and Friday morning. Your help is welcome on a drop-in or regular basis.
To give a hand please email volunteer@hfhssc.org

Did you know? Habitat for Humanity Sunshine Coast recycles more aluminum cans per capita than any other Habitat affiliate in Canada.
