Items that can also be recycled: clothes, small appliances, laptops, and scrap metal There's lots of parking (around 10 spots), and they offer carts so if there's lots of bottle returns, you can organize this outside before bringing it in.

The guy says they must be marked with modern icons (like skull & crossbones, corrosive symbol, etc.) or not accepted. Is there an ethical way to dispose of antique cans of flooring adhesives, wood stain, etc? Zero cooperation or advice from Regional Recycling so any wonder well-meaning folks just give up and dump it in Still Creek? Dropped a load of huge wooden-cabinet radios from the 1940s 30s and even 1920s with the hulking massive tube electronics. Worker didn't care, so I'm absolved.

You forego the usual blue trays and lay out your returns directly on the table in their respective designated spots. From there they load your returns onto mini conveyor belts, which empty out into specific bins. The staff are friendly and helpful. The place is kept relatively clean.

I called as one of the properties has been unhappy with the City of Vancouver's attitude about…read moreorganics pick up, especially since the building manager and owner have been concerned with pest control. Although we're doing all that we can for the owner and property manager about the pest control half the battles is the organics pick up and the cooperation which we feel we haven't been getting by the city, especially since both the owners and the property manager have been investing so much $$ on pest control services of most of the properties. Out of the awesomeness of my heart and 'cause these are good customers I've taken upon myself to do some research on some independent companies who can offer them some good organics pick up. Mike was actually the first out of the 4 companies I submitted soft specs to actually get back to me both phone and e-mail. I am a huge stickler for communication (often a huge pet peeve of mine if you read my other reviews), therefore, was impressed right away that he got back to me in a timely manner. We spoke for a good 5 minutes and he did a mini phone presentation with me. One of the things that they offer that the other companies does not offer is that they do a hot water wash of the bins so that there is no smell left behind which helps immensely with trying to control the pest control issue. In the initial quote they were willing to upgrade from a 32 L bin to a 64L bin which will help during the summer periods. Supposedly to compensate for the harsh winters we're to get a super hot summer which means rotting of food scraps at a faster rate compared to previous years = more attraction to rodents, therefore, this upgrade offer was super awesome by Mike. Mike provided us with the quote in just under an hour upon our conversation which was appreciated. Mike was really awesome with setting and putting the project and answering all my inquiries including Billing. Thank you.

Finally, a legit way to dump engine oil without killing a pile of fish. Been looking for a place to…read moredo this ever since Canadian Tire stopped accepting old oil. Seriously, Burnaby is the only municipality around here that gets things right, unlike Vancouer. Cough. This place is surprisingly open all 7 days, which helps big time. Staff are friendly and helpful. They pointed me to the correct area with a smile. Seems like they actually like working here. The facility is very modern and surprisingly clean, compared to the Vancouver Transfer Station. As mentioned in the name, they also accept piles of other stuff such as yard clippings, glass, wood, and metal. Pretty much a one stop shop, so people actually have a way to get rid of stuff instead of using random fields, gutters, and bushes like in Vancouver.
