First Nations Recycling Initiative

Supporting First Nations throughout British Columbia

We collaborate directly with First Nations communities across BC to provide information about BC’s existing stewardship programs and local collection events in support of community recycling programs.

We work together on projects to recycle these materials: tires, appliances, paper and packaging, electronics, beverage containers, batteries, power equipment, thermostats, and health products.

About Us

In British Columbia, recycling programs are managed by a number of stewardship agencies who offer cost-neutral solutions for recycling. Nine of these agencies have come together to create a project specifically relevant to Indigenous communities who are interested in starting recycling programs.

We are grateful to live, work, and be in relation with First Nation and other Indigenous people from across many traditional and unceded territories, covering all regions of British Columbia. We value the opportunity to learn and share experiences on this traditional territory. The Indigenous communities were the original stewards of the environment, and they continue to fulfill that role today. We are proud to both collaborate with First Nations as well as commit to that work ourselves.
