This month marks the second anniversary of the Empties for Food program in Tahsis. This is a project where the Loaves and Fishes food bank collects refundables to help fund their giving and Tahsis residents have participated big time. The average winter month is 4 megabags full. A full bag contains approximately $200 worth of refundables. Loaves and Fishes can convert every dollar given into $5 of food so that’s so that’s an average of $4000 a month. In the summer, the norm is 7 bags a month.
The bin and bags are located on North Maquinna very near the intersection with Cook. Just past the free store/compost/recycling bins.
You’ve paid a deposit on most beverage containers. Someone should get that deposit back. Check here for the complete list. https://www.return-it.ca/beverage/products/
