Learn How Our Public Waste Dropoff in Hamilton Works
Recycle City places an emphasis on sustainability and safety above all other things. It is our duty as a Public Waste & Recycling Dropoff Centre to ensure our practices and procedures are as environmentally friendly as possible, while maintaining the highest degree of workplace safety. Despite our efforts to become the most sustainable recycling facility in our city, our team looks above and beyond that goal with plans to become a ZERO waste to landfill operation.
Below are some common questions we receive all the time. These are typical questions from you, our customers, which we greatly appreciate because it helps us run the best possible operation. If you have any other comments or concerns, please reach out to the number below.
1 – How Does Our Garbage Drop-off Work?
Joseph Commisso2022-09-21T17:44:31-04:00It's simple. Pull up to our weight scale where you'll be kindly greeted and pointed in the direction to drop off your waste. From there you will unload in our yard and when you're done, drive back to the weight scale and you'll be charged by the weight.
We help unload! Our team is always happy to lend a hand!
2 – Do I Need To Sort My Load?
Joseph Commisso2022-09-20T09:59:10-04:00No, there's no need to sort your waste at all. We do it for you. Simply drive-in, drop-off, and away you go!
Some dumps may refuse mixed loads, but not Recycle City. Whether the load is mixed with dirt and garbage, or full of wood and steel, that's no problem at all.
3 – How Do We Charge For Drop-off?
Joseph Commisso2024-05-26T14:03:10-04:00Recycle City has the best prices around. We charge only $10.50 for every 100kg with a minimum charge of $22.00 for anything less than 200kg. That works out to only $105 per metric ton.
