We are pleased to announce Island Junk Removal Solutions Ltd has become an official sponsor of the Garden Society!
Hauling soil into the community garden and removing non-compostable waste, pots, pallets and other materials for recycling is a huge job for the Society — and it’s time consuming and costly. So, when Wes Roberts, owner of Island Junk Removal Solutions, Ltd approached us, wanting to help out, we were overwhelmed with gratitude.
Wes’ philosophy, as a new and growing Colwood business, is to pay it forward where he can, as others did for him. Working hard to donate, recycle, and otherwise divert waste from the landfill stream where possible, his goals of protecting the environment aligned with our organic vegetable garden creation, where none existed before.
Island Junk Solutions sponsorship details: Wes and his team have generously offered to pick up, at no cost to the society, garden waste, unused pots, and wooden items at the end of the growing season. These items will be composted and returned to the soil system and/or recycled. Furthermore, they will also haul soil or gravel for us, twice per year at the beginning of the growing season. Up to now, we have been hauling soil in plastic tubs or the back of a pickup truck when available.
Wes, thank you very much! We really appreciated your meaningful and valuable gesture. Be sure to stop by the gardens some time, we are sure we can spare a tomato or five!
Got some garden or yard waste that needs hauling away, contact Wes, he and his team will have it removed ensuring the bulk of the materials are eventually turned back into soil.
