The inside is huge with all the tables placed in a square where you can sort your bottles and then wait for an attendant to come to you. There's a handy area to wash your hands. Just a thought.....it would be nice if there were signs so that people know what to do or which area to go to.

Good for recycling stuff like electronics, which the City of Vancouver isn't taking for some reason as of the time of writing. The place has that sickly spilled smell of old beer cans, like the other locations. Found the bins I needed and dumped my stuff. Hopefully it saves a tree.

Staff are very helpful though. They have dumpsters for all the main types of recyclables. Paper, cardboard, plastic, among others. Just empty out your car and drive off. Nice and quick.

Our generation has been "the" generation of excessive consumption and over packaging, I recall as…read morekid, our parents would go shopping with their own bags / baskets, and most items were packaged in either paper, tin, glass or other materials that are not as environmentally damaging. Nowadays, even if you try not to use plastic it impossible to do so without a day you don't go through some sort of disposable plastic materials!! It is a sad situation. Here comes the part that we can all chip in, and try to recycle as much as we can under our control. I have been using this depot for over 15 yrs. and had always find the facility well maintained and well laid out. Bring all your recyclable items here be it newspaper, plastics and other household items that you want to discard, and do our part to keep our environment a bit healthier!!

Located in Richmond and open Tuesday to Sunday 9am to 6pm. You drive into the location in your car, drop the stuff you want to recycle, and drive off. The place is super organized with bins for various objects and the place is clean. I like that the bins have names on it with a picture for easy sorting. The people are super nice and helpful. If you are unsure about what they can take to recycle, there is a website and a phone number.

I have been here a few times and consistently, the staff is courteous, upbeat and friendly. For only two staff working, they are fast, efficient and organized. During the down times, I see them sanitize the countertop and check the garbage. There is also a touch free basin to wash and dry your hands. Bonus, that the return price is better than other places ! Definitely worth the trip! The only little downside is that there is limited parking in the lot, but there are lots of side street parking neary.

The service of this place sucks and the silver tables and blue containers/trays are always filthy…read more(especially the containers/trays). The worst employee here is a middle-aged Cantonese man who does not wear glasses and mostly wears a mask. He LOVES to bug customers or bring them down with discouraging words. I'm EXTREMELY tired of him. He counted my items with less value twice and did not want to pay me back the difference. Not just that, when I realized that he gave me a bit money less and informed him nicely, he even threw the money at me. Seriously, if he doesn't like his job, why even doing it? Also, this kind of employee will only bring down the company. Thus, my question is...why was he even hired in the very first place?

This location has been the cleanest return it depot I've been to…read more The service over last Christmas season was wonderful. The manager, Larry, was very welcoming, and extremely helpful. He even helped myself and other customers sort their bottles and move the trays. Recently though, he hasn't been in very much and the shop has clearly gone downhill fast. Other workers are rude, repeatedly ignore or yell across the room at customers instead of going over to help. I also find it inconsiderate and less inviting when I enter a shop where the employees are all speaking to each other in a language other than English. Just makes you wonder what they might be saying about customers that can't understand them. Young female employee said she didn't know if Larry was coming back. Happy to see he did come back because I was about to go find a different depot to give my business to.

As the old Alf dolls and toilets are covered over with dirt, it hurts to hear a Tickle Me Elmo utter it's last electronic breath.

Do not toss what might be recycled, think of the future generations give them this much, we've already taken the idea of property ownership from them.
