Recycling Depots

Are recycling depots/bottle exchanges open? Was thinking about all the people on income-assistance that need those cans and bottles for supplementary income. What are they going to do when the depots are closed (assuming they are still open)?

Walked by one in Sackville yesterday and it appeared to be business as usual

Not exactly a recycle depot.. but are Value Villages still open? I didn’t think they were, but that doesn’t seem to be stopping people from unloading truckloads full of junk by the donation centre doors.

There are a lot of people I know taking the time to do spring cleaning so I suspect they just want it out of the house.

side note on this, if you’re donating items please keep in mind that value village is a company that you’re donating for them to profit off of, it will be much better used when donating to non- profits such as big brother big sister, or diabetes canada

Surprised at the number of people saying these places are open. The workers there literally handle things hundreds of different people have had in their mouth.
