Commercial Recycling Services
Emterra provides dual-stream and multi-stream commercial recycling collection for businesses, commercial properties, and multi-family buildings in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. We help ICI clients reduce disposal costs, meet diversion targets, and stay ahead of provincial recycling requirements. Recycling also supports a circular economy and lowers your disposal fees. An Emterra Environmental representative can help you start a program or improve the one you have.
Institutional Recycling Programs
We also support institutional recycling for hospitals, education centres, and other public institutions, with bins and pickup schedules that suit busy shared spaces.
Organics Collection, Composting & Commercial Yard Waste Disposal
Organic waste does not need to go to a landfill. Emterra collects food waste, leaves, and yard material from multi-family properties, commercial kitchens, institutions, and industrial sites. We supply the right containers, schedule the right pickups, and route material for composting so you stay aligned with provincial organics requirements.
Commercial Waste Disposal and Bin Rental for Commercial and Industrial Sites
Emterra supplies carts, totes, front-end bins, roll-off containers, and compactors for commercial, construction, and industrial sites. We match the container to your waste volume, site layout, and pickup frequency, then handle commercial waste removal and business waste collection so your team can focus on operations. From construction waste to cardboard, ask your Emterra Environmental representative which solution fits.
- Carts and totes: offices, retail, and smaller volumes
- Front-end bins: regular commercial pickup
- Roll-off bins: construction and large cleanouts
- Compactors: high-volume or space-limited sites
Business Waste Stream Audits
Do you know what’s in your waste? A waste stream audit shows what your business throws away, what could be recycled, and what it costs you. Emterra’s ICI waste audits identify diversion opportunities, flag contamination, and create a roadmap to lower disposal fees and improve environmental reporting. They suit commercial, industrial, and institutional sites that want a more sustainable waste program.
Live Event Waste Services
A waste plan for your event shows how much waste you may generate and puts the right bins in the right places. Emterra offers waste, recycling, and compost removal for tournaments, festivals, concerts, and farmers’ markets, indoors or out, so guests stay focused on the event.
