Sunbird Disposal & Recycling and the Tire Site
Written June 2000

Michael Steves of Sunbird Disposal & Recycling is excited about his company's plans for expansion of recycling in Port Alberni in the very near future. |
 |
Pacifica Papers is operating a paper recycling program through Sunbird. Here we see roll ends from the mill being dropped off at Sunbird's site at the landfill. The roll ends go to International Paper Products in Nanaimo where they are recycled. |
 |
Sunbird's operations are soon to expand from this small building to a much larger in-house operation where more goods will be stored and kept dry until markets are right for selling goods. |
 |
A light day's load of recyclables collected from Sunbird's clientele is dropped off for sorting. |
 |
Stored milk jugs at Sunbird's landfill site. When Sunbird goes in-house, they will have a lot more room to diversify and organize. It takes 9,920 milk jugs to make one industrial bale for sale; Sunbird is looking forward to getting much needed space to streamline their operation. |
