We've used several rubbish removal services over the 20 years we'd lived in our house, but Doug's might be the best. When I first called my questions were handled in a courteous and professional manner. On pick-up day, the crew arrived right on time. They quoted a fair price, then worked quickly and efficiently to take away all the trash. Even swept up afterwards! Terrific service, thanks!!!

Super unprofessional "company" and use that word lightly…read more Incorrectly quoted the cost several times, did services that weren't discussed and then asked for additional money, were late, lost my booking and tried to rebook me for a later date despite being booked a month in advance after making me wait 40 mins and had already said they were almost there, barely cleaned the walls or windows, baseboards untouched, floor had mop strings all over it and had puddle streaks everywhere. Walk-out inspection was failed and property manager threatened to deduct money from the security deposit at how bad this cleaning was. Balcony was completely untouched and so was the garage. Needed to book a touch up and again they were extremely late and the owner didn't even arrive as she said she would, sent someone else and then blamed it on traffic. Carpet cleaning was good which surprisingly was the cheaper part. $320 for subpar cleaning by unprofessional and hours of time wasting going back and forth to let people in who were not respectful of our time was not worth it. Book here with caution, they do not provide the caliber of services they advertise. Edited to add: after posting this review while waiting for the cleaners almost 30 mins to show up for the touch up, the owner saw my review and told the cleaner to leave my house mid-clean because she no longer wanted to do my touch up! Absolutely wild, said my review was completely false despite photos and text evidence and said she didn't feel comfortable being in my house (even though I wasn't even there). So despite their guarantee to receive your security deposit back, I now have to either clean up their mess myself or forfeit money from my security deposit.

These guys are good + fast + professional…read more After buying a house on the North Shore in Summer 2015, I spent a weekend with my chainsaw & hedge trimmer hacking through 10 years worth of overgrown landscaping. I created a monster-sized pile of yard waste on my driveway. Eamonn brought in his guys and the pile was gone in a day. Best of all - they spent an extra half-hour to make the driveway look clean and tidy. Highly recommended!

This is/was an excellent service!…read more We needed an old couch removed a recycled and decided on Green Coast for a few reasons. Firstly, I emailed a number of services, and they had a very fair price. Secondly, they were very quick to respond to my emails and my call. On the day needed, I received a call from the business about 15 minutes before the time they were to arrive, which really put me at ease and allowed us to get things organized. The workers introduced themselves, and were very courteous and very quick. The whole process took less than 10 minutes, and ended with a thank-you and a handshake! I cannot comment on the recycling end of this transaction, but I assume it will be done properly. As a resident of the west end I really am tired of seeing couches, t.v.s, mattresses etc, etc, etc in the alley at the end of every month, and so I was happy to see that my old couch is dealt with properly. I would not hesitate to use this service again, and will recommend it to friends whenever possible.

With the Covid, the BIRD was shut down for a little while, and everyone's piles of recyclables grew…read moreto Himalayan proportions. So, with everyone needing to use this institution more than ever before, the geniuses at the BIRD have chosen to: restrict the volume of items you can return; restrict the number of people; restrict the hours of operation; and restrict the amount of time you can be there to five minutes. The result? Utter bedlam, as now everyone on the island has to make many, many trips to the depot instead of one. As usual, the attitude of the people who work here is about as rude and as nauseating as it gets. If you love being yelled at for no reason, and treated like a tramp on the street, a visit here will be like a trip to Heaven. I have never been happier in my life now that I know I'm moving off the island, and will never have to endure the people at this depot ever again.

It's a dirty job, as they say, and when you can pull off this sorting nightmare of every type of…read morerecyclable with a smile on your face and a happy attitude, well then you deserve five stars. I've always enjoyed the apparent joy of those who work here, not really sure why they're all so happy, but it makes going to the recycling depot way more fun. But they run a tight ship here, so don't expect to get away with any of your garbage shenanigans (please keep the glass and plastic separate). Of course, it doesn't always smell the best inside the warehouse-ish building but it is dealing with garbage, and maybe you'll get lucky and the girl with the incredible hair will share some of her peppermint spray and make every thing smell good again. Location-wise you can't really beat it, in the woods on Bowen island, lots of parking nearby and better still, next door to the Knick Knack Nook. If that isn't 'win win' I don't know what is.
