Sunshine Recycle Store

09/03/2026

Recently, we sold some airbrush equipment, and we thought it would be a good time to post this. We now have, for sale, an airbrush compressor with hoses etc. We're listing it for $30.

If it was you who bought the airbrush equipment or you know who did, this may be of interest.

CLOSING NOTICE:

We regret to announce that the Sunshine Recycle Store will be closing at the end of September 2026.
We have been approached by a potential buyer who would relocate the business outside the area but we would like to offer it to local individuals or organizations to keep the store serving the Kootenays.
Depending on the purchaser’s plans, the current property may also be available for discussion.
Finally, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the Castlegar community and the amazing volunteers for your incredible support over the past eight years. Thank you for helping make the Sunshine Recycle Store possible.
If you are interested, please contact Darleen Phone: (250) 608-7272

Help us protect your generosity! 🌙
We are so grateful for the amazing donations we receive from this community. However, we’ve noticed an increase in items being left after dark, despite our overnight voice announcements.

We ask you to wait until morning because:

• Items left outside can be ruined by dew, rain, or critters.
• Unattended piles can create hazards for our neighbors and can result in fines for unsightly property.
• Unfortunately, items left overnight are often gone before we can process them.

Please help us keep our storefront clean and ensure your donations actually reach those in need by visiting us during daylight hours! ☀️
