I love Nanaimo & B.C. My children love this planet as much as I We realize how important it is to do our part in caring for it. In order to care for our beautiful earth we must keep it clean & safe, recycle & reuse all that we can. Tis time to care for our dying planet. Please let us all do our part in keeping the NRE working at its best. The NRE needs us, as we need our earth.

In this era of over-consumption, we need places to deal with our tonnes of hard-to-recycle waste, and to educate the next generation of recyclers.

]]> Sat, 6 Sep 2014 01:21:37 UTC 17817242 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17803817?utm_medium=rss My wife and I decided to move to Nanaimo to join the friendly clean and self sustainable environment. We would like to maintain that environment and keep Nanaimo the slice of heaven that it is.

]]> Mon, 1 Sep 2014 10:14:05 UTC 17803817 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17800678?utm_medium=rss This is more important than most people seem to be aware of.

]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2014 07:35:15 UTC 17781332 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17776055?utm_medium=rss I use this facility regularily and it is obvious it is well used and under funded. It is very apparent that expansion is needed as the city continues to grow. As a taxpayer of nanaimo I would support funding this facility.

]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2014 11:30:17 UTC 17776055 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17765035?utm_medium=rss This is the best place on the island to pick up and get rid of toys and household items no longer needed. It's amazing what you can find and reuse to keep items out of the landfill. Please reconsider and help keep the RDN operating.

]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2014 05:04:22 UTC 17765035 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17726914?utm_medium=rss Please preserve the NRE.

I would hate to have to send these non-biodegradable materials to the landfill or use up all of my one bag of garbage per two weeks on yard waste.

]]> Tue, 5 Aug 2014 01:26:54 UTC 17696095 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17693542?utm_medium=rss Mon, 4 Aug 2014 01:22:13 UTC 17693542 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17692889?utm_medium=rss Mon, 4 Aug 2014 08:18:18 UTC 17692889 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17661613?utm_medium=rss I always bring my recycles there, our family always has more than what we put out on recycling with the city, we bring our glass, styrafoam, garden waste aswell,

]]> Sun, 27 Jul 2014 01:04:22 UTC 17661613 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17657371?utm_medium=rss NRE provides a well-needed service to the community of Nanaimo and the environment. Support the NRE!!

]]> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 02:17:24 UTC 17643465 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17635542?utm_medium=rss I believe the NRE serves a very important function in that it accepts a great many items that would otherwise end up in landfill. One only has to spend a half hour at their location to see how very busy they are and to me this demonstrates the importance of their service.

]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2014 06:01:09 UTC 17635542 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17635520?utm_medium=rss Fri, 18 Jul 2014 05:56:46 UTC 17635520 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17626025?utm_medium=rss Wed, 16 Jul 2014 01:57:30 UTC 17626025 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17626015?utm_medium=rss Wed, 16 Jul 2014 01:55:44 UTC 17626015 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17623033?utm_medium=rss Tue, 15 Jul 2014 05:11:43 UTC 17623033 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17623030?utm_medium=rss Tue, 15 Jul 2014 05:10:35 UTC 17623030 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17619667?utm_medium=rss Mon, 14 Jul 2014 03:12:47 UTC 17619667 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17577514?utm_medium=rss if it doesn't get recycled, it goes in the garbage!

]]> Sat, 5 Jul 2014 11:01:13 UTC 17577514 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17569587?utm_medium=rss This is an invaluable amenity made possible through those who are concerned by the environment. You must support this very worthy achievement!

]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2014 05:11:54 UTC 17554595 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17554428?utm_medium=rss This a wonderful resource for the inhabitants of Nanaimo and further the city's goals of being leaders in saving the environment

]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2014 04:40:25 UTC 17554428 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17548117?utm_medium=rss The NRE is a regional leader in all things recycling. It also offers valuable work and volunteer opportunities for many underprivileged people as well. As such it also serves a strong social function. It deserves financial support from the City and regional District.

]]> Sat, 28 Jun 2014 06:43:24 UTC 17548117 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17534531?utm_medium=rss The facility is vital to the people of Nanaimo. So many recyclables are not picked up at the roadside, so homeowners have no option but to take items, PARTICULARLY GARDEN WASTE to the NRE. If the city will not provide pickup for certain types of recyclables, it at the very least has an obligation to provide an alternative!!

]]> Tue, 24 Jun 2014 06:48:37 UTC 17534531 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17514538?utm_medium=rss Thu, 19 Jun 2014 05:46:33 UTC 17514538 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17514324?utm_medium=rss This is an essential service that makes Nanaimo far more liveable. I mountain bike and have helped clean up the stuff people dump in the bush. I can't imagine how much more will end up there if the exchange is closed.

]]> Thu, 19 Jun 2014 04:39:21 UTC 17514324 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17497942?utm_medium=rss Recycling is one of the most important aspects of waste management,especially in a province like BC whose agriculture and beauty are one of it's most important aspects. Removing the recycling depot would be a travesty. A lot more waste would be piled onto the already mounting problems.

]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2014 07:13:53 UTC 17497942 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17496382?utm_medium=rss Mon, 16 Jun 2014 03:23:53 UTC 17496382 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17481515?utm_medium=rss We visit the Nanaimo Recycling Exchange on a regular basis (2-4 x per month) to deliver items that we would like to avoid going to landfill. I am quite appalled that it is taking this kind of aggressive approach to get the City to back this wonderful organization with required funds. Zero waste (or close to) is possible when we work at it to provide a better place for generations to come.

]]> Fri, 13 Jun 2014 02:51:02 UTC 17481515 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17481251?utm_medium=rss Fri, 13 Jun 2014 01:35:13 UTC 17481251 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17466727?utm_medium=rss Serious? Why ruin a good thing? Invest in what IS working...don't speculate and pass off to private corps.

]]> Tue, 10 Jun 2014 08:14:28 UTC 17466727 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17442138?utm_medium=rss The Nanaimo Recycling Exchange provides an important service in terms of public service, sustainability and protection of the environment. Besides that it provides services, like yard waste disposal, that, with the NRE gone, would have to be taken over by the city of Nanaimo. So why not just fund the NRE for the community's sake and make sure at the same time that the jobs of the people who work there and need these jobs will be safe in the future?

]]> Thu, 5 Jun 2014 01:07:04 UTC 17442138 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17416452?utm_medium=rss Sun, 1 Jun 2014 04:59:33 UTC 17416452 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17399470?utm_medium=rss Thu, 29 May 2014 03:00:27 UTC 17399470 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17398837?utm_medium=rss I fully support Zero Waste, and want NRE to remain doing their fantastic job in our community!

]]> Thu, 29 May 2014 01:22:52 UTC 17398837 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17368784?utm_medium=rss What a shame it would be to close the NRE! It is used constantly by so many people in Nanaimo, and provides a much needed service. Please keep it operative!

]]> Sun, 25 May 2014 04:31:30 UTC 17368784 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17368360?utm_medium=rss There is a great need for this type of facility. Particicularly for co-operating homeowners, which is always evident at the site.

]]> Sun, 25 May 2014 02:52:59 UTC 17368360 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17349866?utm_medium=rss I completely agree with the letter above to the mayor and council of Nanaimo! I am a disabled, person and when I bring my sorted and cleaned recyclables to the depot the volunteers kindly put them in the bins for me. In this time of severe and frightening environmental challenges the work done by the depot and volunteers is a valuable and irreplaceable service for the city of Nanaimo.

]]> Fri, 23 May 2014 03:34:21 UTC 17349866 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17343402?utm_medium=rss It's shocking, at this time in history that our city council would even consider letting this valuable community service be jeopardized for lack of financial support. As taxpayers we fund many things that have far less impact on our collective quality of life than a clean environment. The NRE is as important to those of us who regularly use the facility as it is to all who benefit as a result of less waste to dispose of. Incinerators are not the answer either. Keep our air clean too.

]]> Thu, 22 May 2014 08:19:58 UTC 17343402 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17340602?utm_medium=rss Thu, 22 May 2014 10:46:04 UTC 17340602 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17337952?utm_medium=rss Thu, 22 May 2014 02:25:33 UTC 17337952 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17337794?utm_medium=rss Thu, 22 May 2014 01:12:40 UTC 17337794 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17337732?utm_medium=rss Thu, 22 May 2014 12:49:02 UTC 17337732 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17336738?utm_medium=rss Wed, 21 May 2014 07:56:41 UTC 17336738 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17335542?utm_medium=rss Wed, 21 May 2014 02:21:50 UTC 17335542 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17333622?utm_medium=rss The Nanaimo Recycling Exchange is vital. Resource Recovery and Zero Waste are how we will enjoy a healthy environment on our planet. I pray we all see the light of day and support the NRE. I also pray that we continue to say NO to a waste to energy incinerator. An incinerator is not an intelligent way to deal with waste. As science tells us energy can never be destroyed only changed. When you incinerate garbage it doesn't simply evaporate into nothingness. It is merely changed into particles that float into the air we breathe. And when filtered, they're simply caught in a filter that it itself needs to be cleaned into our sewage and/or disposed of in some fashion. Not to mention that which inevitably cannot be caught by even the most sophisticated filter. By using Resource Recovery and Zero Waste initiatives you change the energy that was once considered garbage into something we reuse. This is sustainable. 
The environment encompasses us all. A healthy environment sustains us. A polluted one breaks us. It is the water to the fish.
