Recycling reduces the need for extracting, refining and processing raw materials, all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change. When you recycle, you help:

• Reduce the need for new landfills
• Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions
• Supply industries with valuable recycled materials
• Stimulate the development of new, green products
• Reduce the need to extract resources from the earth
• Conserve resources for our children's future

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 Victoria residents, it is important to note that some wastes (automotive batteries, paper, cardboard, drywall, metal and yard and garden waste) are banned from the landfill. We can efficiently and effectively handle these items to ensure you are complying with government regulations. Please contact us for more information!

Placing an emphasis on recycling and efficient waste management practices can save you money in the long run! Many of the items that were once thrown away now have a resale value if handled properly. Handling waste responsibly reduces overall disposal costs and can generate revenue! Contact us to find out more.
