URGENT: SUPPORT THE NRE BY SAYING NO TO THE REZONING OF 2375 HAYES ROAD!
Rezoning this facility, only steps away from the NRE’s gates, will allow this for-profit business to open a full recycling depot. Not only will this hinder the NRE’s ability to continue to offer free public environmental education and services to better our community (including workshops for schools and attendance at community special events), it is not in Nanaimo’s best interest to have two full recycling depots in the same area. Another recycling depot would be better suited in the south end of Nanaimo, where there is currently no such facility.
SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY NON-PROFIT RECYCLING DEPOT, BY SAYING NO TO THE REZONING OF 2375 HAYES ROAD.
Please spread the word and sign our petition, available by clicking here.
PLEASE DISREGARD THE PAGE THAT COMES UP AFTER YOU SUBMIT YOUR SIGNATURE ON THE PETITION. THE REQUEST FOR DONATIONS IS COMING FROM IPETITIONS, THE COMPANY THAT IS HOSTING OUR PETITION, AND IS NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE NANAIMO RECYCLING EXCHANGE. CLOSING THIS PAGE OR NAVIGATING AWAY FROM IT WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR SIGNATURE. APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.

While incentives last, home owners can access a $250 rebate when replacing an old wood burning appliance with an EPA/CSA-certified wood burning, pellet, or gas stove or insert.
