We have come here for both the dump and recycling services. The dump side does seem a bit steep price-wise, but we only bring things here that we can't donate, sell or recycling, so we don't use that service very often. The recycling side has always been set up efficiently with friendly staff and a clean environment. They take a wide range of items. If you're ever unsure, check their website for a full list. On our most recent visit to the recycling area we were abruptly and rudely scolded for driving a company vehicle to drop off 3 gallons of antifreeze. My husband had recently flushed the coolant in his classic car and didn't want to transport the antifreeze in his fully restored car, so he decided to bring it to the recycling center in his work truck. The woman in the hazardous waste area jumped on us as soon as we pulled up, accusing us of bringing 'business' waste and not personal waste. We assured her it was from a personal vehicle. She seemed skeptical. It was a pretty awkward transaction. Other than our most recent experience, I would recommend this central transfer and recycling center. read more

I use recycle. Always in and out. People working in there are super friendly. I say hello and they say hello back. They just monitor that the right things are going in the right places. read more

Those complaining about the prices here are kinda off their nut. I brought in a brutally heavy RV recliner sofa with all metal undercarriage that had been sitting in the rain soaking up water all winter, (took two to just barely be able to muscle it into the truck bed) along with an old demo'd toilet, and other various bits of household junk. Total charge was just over $20. Very worth it. Easy to navigate, in and out in under 20 minutes. My experience couldn't have been better. (Well, if it was free I suppose that would have been better, but c'mon). Good, easy dump. read more

As transfer stations go, this one is top notch. I could not believe how long the lines were when we arrived, but it only took a few minutes for us to get up to the payment office. The staff was friendly and efficient. When it was our turn to drive into a slot, we noticed how "relatively" clean and non-smelly it was. We unloaded quickly and were on our way. *(just one troubling note: even though the CT&RC website clearly states that masks are required, I saw no staff members or other customers who were wearing one. Vancouver is only 48% vaccinated and the variants make me unsure about returning here.) read more

Today my husband brought me here to ride along with him. This transfer station is very efficient. They charge by the pound and the line is quick moving. The employees are helpful and you can recycle everything hear from oil to batteries. Great local business and place to recycle. read more

We use the recycling side and no problems and decent service,has a tendency to be crowded on week end,but they open early

First time coming here and my experience was.. interesting. The ladies in the Toll booth up front were AMAZING, so kind and helpful. Once my fiancé and I reached the building to dump we were directed with a man with a flag. Right off the bat he was a bit aggressive (having his job though I can empathize). He directed us to reverse back in and once we started doing so he became more aggressive and started talking to us in a slow condescending voice. One we started unloading the car just like everyone else around us he came up to us to tell us not to throw out our stuff on the pile ? It wasn't what he was saying that was so bothersome it was his tone and body language that was displeasing. Don't work for the city if you can't be polite and patient ALEX read more

People here are over reactive and rude. The lady directing traffic was yelling at everyone and looked like it was her worst day. I hope someone gives her a hug, she needs it. Curious why the other station is closed Monday and Tuesday. I had to come back twice today because the lines were so long on the street that they stopped traffic. read more

Masks required due to Covid for the public but not the employees that are close to and talking to every car that comes through. Good job!

Well if you are taking dirt and sod to the dump which I would think would be considered "yard waste".. find somewhere else to take it. For a little over two tons they charged us nearly $300! And it only weighed that much because it had rained overnight making it even heavier. ridiculous! On their site they should make sure and clarify that sod and dirt are not yard debris. read more

Great location in Vancouver to unload your household garbage. Staff is helpful and the whole process is usually quick. If I need to throw away old furniture, broken appliances, household garbage, this is the first location that I use. Mike read more

The guys who are paid to direct people gave little directions and were most unhelpful. Me:where should I put the empty paint cans ? Guy at the Recycle station: Garbage. Me: really? Guy : Garbage! Me: Where should I put the rug? Guy: Garbage. Me: Where is that? Guy: Garbage! read more

Rude employees. Confusing layout. Line so long you can't even turn left into the transfer station. Be prepared me to be yelled at and wait.

I really really can not believe this place has no reviews yet. When I think of a top quality transfer station I'm sure I'm not alone when I think this is it. Highly paid and trained sanitation engineers dressed in pressed and creased coveralls. A well organized facility that screams of tidiness and upkeep. And the pleasing aroma! Is that gardenias? Or perhaps alpine wildflowers in the spring? Wait... No.. No its not, it's the dump. read more

This place is definitely and always been my first and really only choice of a recycling center, the staff are great, the service is more than 5 star worthy. However if your in a rush, this by all means is never the place to be in and out in 5 minutes, I've been as fast as 10, and as slow as over an hour. I'd say the majority of my visits are over 30 minutes long. The traffic is always backed up on the road making it extremely dangerous on a busy highway to be standing still closing off an entire lane. More organized lanes or something of that sort should be taken into consideration read more

Went to this dump and had a horrible experience. The manager Jeff smith was very unprofessional and disrespectful to the customers.

This place is a scam. They said we dropped off 200 lbs of garbage (two small black trash bags one carried in each hand, at most 65 lbs total). One of their scales is either off, or this is a complete con! $20 charge for two bags of trash! Cost $12 the first time we came. Never again! They should be reported to the better business bureau. read more

This place is top notch in my opinion. The customer service level is great, the employees are talkative even through the smells and odors of what they do. Keep up the good work! read more

Overall this place is well ran, I like the fact you can recycle at no cost. The one issue I have is where you pull in to dump, they need to have a designated individual or machine with a magnet picking up nails. It doesn't matter if your in a truck or a truck with a trailer every tire has a good chance of picking up a nail, they are everywhere. I have had a couple issues with flats over the years and they will not cover the repair costs. If it isn't cost affective to have someone on shift running a magnet why not mount them on the forklifts that drive around, at least there would be a chance of picking up a majority of them. Other than this issue it is a very well ran facility. read more
