2011 Winner: Salvation Army Thrift Stores

The Salvation Army Thrift Stores receive clothing, furniture, electronic and household donations from the public. The store sells items that might otherwise end up in out landfills. For items that are not appropriate for resale, the Salvation Army has partnered with Planet Earth Recycling to further increase the amount of waste diverted from Landfill. Emphasizing re-use before recycling, the Salvation Army Thrift Stores do a big part to reduce waste in Kelowna and throughout the Okanagan.
