Waste
Lasqueti has no garbage disposal. Please minimize the waste that you produce and dispose of your garbage off-island. You can fill a tote with your waste/recycling and take it back to appropriate places on Vancouver Island.
All organic waste should be composted on your own property. The Free Store will accept clean, reusable goods.
Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, then Recycle are the 4 'R's that we live by here.

Recycling    
The Recycling Centre is located behind the Free Store. Please read and respect sorting signs. If there isn't a sign for it, it doesn't belong there.
Generally, we accept clean household recycling like hard and soft plastic, tin cans, and refundables like pop cans, liquor and glass bottles. You can bring clean egg cartons for reuse by locals.
Church Rd. Transfer Station accepts car batteries for a fee.
