NANAIMO — For over two decades, local residents have helped give countless items a new lease on life.
The city’s popular annual Reuse Rendezvous is scheduled Saturday, Aug. 8 and Sunday, Aug. 9 across Nanaimo. It provides people the opportunity to put out unwanted but useable household items on the curb for others to collect.
Kirsten Gellein, city zero waste coordinator, told NanaimoNewsNOW they’re comfortable going ahead with the event amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s quite a low-risk event when we look at the BC CDC guidelines, as long as people follow precautions,” Gellein said.
