We are all stewards of the environment, our responsibility is to protect the earth, air and water for future generations. Building owners and developers are beginning to demand the proper management of construction wastes. Ellice can help you achieve environmental goals.

The proper handling of various types of solid waste is regulated federally (Canadian Environmental Protection Act), Provincially (BC Waste Management Act) and municipally (CRD Solid Waste Bylaws). These regulations and bylaws ensure that waste is handled responsibly and with attention to environmental impacts.

For local businesses, it is important to note that some wastes (automotive batteries, paper, cardboard, drywall and yard and garden waste) are banned from the landfill. We can efficiently and effectively dispose of these items so they don't fill up precious landfill space.

Consumers today are becoming very attuned to the impact of their actions on the environment and they want to know their wastes are being handled responsibly; they expect their service providers to take care of the environment. Businesses who demonstrate environmental best practices are gaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace because they are responding to consumer demand.

We have found that by putting an emphasis on recycling and efficient waste management practices can actually save you money in the long run. Many of the items that were once thrown away now have a scrap/resale value if handled properly. Handling waste responsibly reduces overall disposal costs and might even generate some revenue!
