Started in 1992, the Nanaimo Recycling Exchange (NRE) Society has a legacy of helping the community reduce waste. A trailblazer for recycling in Nanaimo, the NRE was instrumental in developing markets for products, establishing local recycling systems, and contributing to the development of a strong recycling economy in the central Vancouver Island area.

Since the closure of the NRE’s recycling depot at Kenworth Road in March 2018, the non-profit NRE continues to serve as a research and recycling hub focusing on zero-waste recycling. New information will be added to this website soon.
