Saturna Island is one of the Gulf Islands outside Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. Around three hundred people live on the island permanently. The island has its own private re-cycling and the inhabitants do it all with great enthusiasm. Anything, and I do mean anything which can be re-used or re-cycled, is collected at a center run by volunteers twice a week.It also included a free seconds shop, which takes donations only as pay. Convieniently this center is across the road from the island shop, which also has a restaurant and coffee- shop, where the islanders go to socialize.
It works very well.
