What Can Be Recycled on Vancouver Island?

Much of what gets thrown away can actually be used again. Recyclable items include metals, electronics, paper, cardboard, paints, chemicals, oils, tires, appliances, lightbulbs, batteries and more. We sort our loads onsite and recycle as much as possible ourselves to save you money on the final dumping fee. Items like glass Styrofoam and small amounts of plastics and wood are recycled by the pros at the depot where we dump our truck.

Commercial Recycling

For our commercial clients, we handle wood pallet and construction waste recycling. We also provide commercial hauling services for appliance removal, old furniture, and mattress disposal. These services are particularly useful for property management companies, who may have several units to take care of on a regular basis.

Many businesses generate large quantities of recyclable materials like cardboard boxes, packaging, Styrofoam, plastic containers and paper cups. Whether you own a retail business or a restaurant, we can handle all your recycling needs, and help you keep your business site clean, organized and running smoothly.

Did you know we offer discounted rates and same day pick up to our commercial clients?

We’re also happy to discuss regular pick up services for business clients with ongoing recycling needs. We service lower Vancouver Island all the way to Cowichan, including the Gulf Islands, and can discuss travel rates for areas outside our regular geographic boundary. To request an estimate on recycling hauling costs, please give us a call.
