LOCAL COMMUNITY
While still young, Binners’ Project is establishing itself as a connector. We work closely with over 40 non-profit groups and government entities with whom we share the same values. Those includes SFU Radius, UBC Learning Exchange, the City of Vancouver, Metro Vancouver, and many more. Those partnerships range from one-time only projects, to a significant part of the project’s activities.
NATIONAL INITIATIVES
Some of our initiatives are currently being tested in other cities across Canada. Partner organisations include Les Valoristes, Regroupement des Éco-quartiers, Société de Developpement Social in Montreal, and The Diverters' Foundation in Victoria.
INTERNATIONAL NETWORK
We are also connected with waste-collecting communities similar to us around the world – thanks to the Global Alliance for Waste Pickers.
