The Canadian Electrical Stewardship Association a not-for-profit agency comprised of manufacturers, distributors and retailers of these products was formed to manage a program to recycle small appliances in British Columbia. Beginning in October 2011, consumers can drop off small appliances for recycling. The local collection point is the Bowen Island Recycling Depot (B.I.R.D.) across from the gas station.

The wide range of small appliances will include categories like air treatment, countertop, floor care, personal care, garment care, weight measurement and time measurement.

If you are not sure whether an item can be recycled, please check www.cesarecycling.ca/consumer-products or contact Bowen Waste Service at (604) 947-2255.
