Since moving to Markham, we were in search for a recycling depot near us. We found Unionville…read moreRecycling Depot online, and it is located on the busy Main Street in Unionville. Staff are friendly, helpful, and has great guidance. We dropped off plastic bags here for recycling and also there are those blue textile recycling bins outdoors collecting clothes, linens and old runners that are too old for donations. Like the other Yelper mentioned, the only thing that is inconvenient is the parking. I think max the lot can fit 3 cars or so. Backing up can be difficult due to ongoing traffic on Main Street, so be careful when you're driving!

It is great to have this depot where you can bring items that are not taken in the curbside…read morerecycling (oversized cardboard, styrofoam, plastic bags...). They also take used books and while you are there if you find an interesting book, you can take it with you. The staff are friendly and useful if you have questions. The only inconvenient is the parking. It can fill up quick if a lot of people go to the depot at the same time, and it can be hard to back up onto Main Street.

On Father's Day, I visited my parents before I went out for brunch with friends (one was in town from Hong Kong). I saw that their TV was dead. It was as if the apocalypse had arrived at their home. My parents love watching TV. Channel 36 is all that matters, which is Fairchild TV. It's the Cantonese channel that they love. While I was out with friends, my dad got a new TV. It was huge. I'm not sure how he got it out of his vehicle's trunk and into the garage, but he did. I was heading back for Father's Day dinner. He needed help getting the TV into the house. I helped him carry it inside and onto a stand. I also hooked up their Rogers digital box and had to get Rogers to get the volume working on their Rogers channel changer. We had dinner. My dad quietly approached me afterwards and asked where he could dispose of the styrofoam that protected the new TV in its box. I said Milliken Mills Recycling Depot. I was here a while back with styrofoam and the place accepted it. I told my dad that it was behind the McDonald's that I enjoy frequenting on Wednesday mornings before I head to the office. I drew my dad a map, which has always been my thing. He likes that I do that as he's a map person. What's weird about this place? Its hours of operation. It's worse than banking hours! It's open from 9 am till 3 pm Monday through Saturday. There is at least one person on duty who is available to say yea or nay to your items to be recycled. My dad appreciated how resourceful I can be. The following day, he came here to dispose of the styrofoam. He told me a day after his experience that it was great. I'm glad that it's close by. The hours aren't great if you hold a day job. However, I'm happy that it's open on Saturdays. (208)

I had about 12 boxes of shredding to do. Called around to a number of the "big name" places and…read morethey were all really pricey - I didn't understand why. Then I called Papersavers. They got back to me in under 15 minutes and were so informative and reasonably priced that I immediately decided to try them. I made an appointment, brought the boxes down to them and they were polite and efficient. They let me watch the shredding and gave me back the boxes I wanted. An hour later they emailed me my receipt. Kudos to a great company. I highly recommend Papersavers.
