More info

Pay-What-You-Can

Sliding scale $35-75

This program aims to help as many folks recycle as possible, so the pick-up cost is decided by the customer at each pick-up in a Pay-What-You-Can (PWYC) format. For this program to remain viable, the average PWYC payment must be at least $55.

Registration

Flat Fee $35

Registration fee covers a deposit for your box and laminated guide sheet (and we'll talk you through using both upon delivery).

Service Range

See map for approximate service area, viable subscription locations subject to The Sustainable Fox's discretion. 

​

Why?

Because we do almost all Box pick-ups via bicycle and trailer! 

TSB approximate service range map. Circular overlay on a map shows a 2km radius approximately centered on Hillside shopping center, and a second smaller circle which slightly overlaps the first and covers downtown, Fernwood, and Quadra/Hillside area.
