Burnaby Eco-Centre

Very clean. Great signage. Lots of stream options. Attendant was very helpful, positive and efficient. Lots of parking. Easy to get around in a larger vehicle. Organized and well run facility. Would suggest adding formal residential organics drop off to the stream options and perhaps signage suggesting where one could drop off waste items that aren’t accepted at the facility (nearest landfill, etc).

Great to be able to drop off all your recyclables, especially those items that aren't accepted in the blue bins at home like soft plastics, hard plastics, metal, batteries, paint, motor oil, etc. Saves it all being dumped in the garbage or elsewhere.
Staff are always helpful and friendly.

The wide centre is kept clean and clutter-free with staff frequently passing around in all areas to provide information and assist in sorting out all the different materials. Unfortunately, lightweight bulbs are not recycled here.

The Centre is great. What i can't believe is that there is no bus stop nearby. The walk from the nearest bus stop (in my case that's 17 min one way) with a load of recyclables is likely discouraging for people who don't own a car, but would take the bus. I walked there last year, in the heat of summer, and i thought never again! My bottle depot has not accepted styrofoam trays and soft plastic for almost a year now so I went again yesterday. If you agree and care, please contact Transit. i will do the same.

Thank you Ken and management for inspiring such great work ethic and customer service. Always professional and very helpful but that alone would not have made me take the time to write a positive review. Ken stands out as a worker and a human being. You cant teach someone to take pride and effort in their work. As an owner myself, this is the kind of employee we are always in search of. Thanks to the Burnaby transfer station and Ken for making my weekly experience pleasurable and not just tolerable.
