Wetsuit Recycling Program

Wetsuit Poster
The ARK, with support from Divert NS, has launched a Wetsuit Recycling Program.
 
The goal is to remove wetsuits from Nova Scotia landfills, where they can take over 100 years to decompose. Clean, dry wetsuits, booties and gloves will be accepted. Each wetsuit will be repaired or repurposed into new products and remaining scraps will be shredded for use as pillow stuffing, etc.
