Saturday morning visit to GIRO

Saturday mornings on Gabriola typically start with a visit to GIRO (Gabriola Island Recycling Organization), a popular local spot where people often go every week, sometimes even lining up before the doors open to be sure to find a great treasure or at least a good deal. GIRO is only open on Wednesdays and Saturdays. First I dropped off my glass bottles for recycling, then paid $20 for them to take my bbq, which was damaged when a tree fell on it. Around the corner to dropoffs, I was able donate some kitchen things, a bag of clothing, and set of stacking tables. The place was hopping - I found a couple of things I was looking for and had to stand in line to pay. Clearly business is booming as they recently had to add a second cashier.
