Built for Day-to-Day Pickup and Performance
Business waste management is easier when one partner handles recycling, organics, and waste collection planning in a way that fits how you work. Emterra Environmental supports businesses across Canada, from single-site commercial operations to large-scale industrial and institutional facilities—by setting up practical programs, recommending the right bins, and keeping pickups running smoothly. With 16+ locations and a vertically integrated service model that includes recycling, organics, bin solutions, waste audits, event waste, and ongoing collection support, we help you cut disposal costs, improve diversion, and manage waste at scale, without disrupting your day-to-day operations.
Commercial Recycling Services
Emterra provides dual-stream and multi-stream recycling collection for businesses, commercial properties, and multi-family buildings in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. We help ICI clients reduce disposal costs, hit diversion targets, and stay ahead of provincial recycling mandates. By diverting waste and choosing to recycle, you are improving your environmental footprint, you will be participating in a green and circular economy, and you will save money on your disposal fees.
An EmterraEnvironmental representative can help you establish your recycling program or further improve the solutions you are currently using. Our business recycling services help reduce disposal fees while improving diversion.
Organics Collection & Composting for Commercial Properties
Nearly half of commercial waste is organic, and most of it doesn't 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 ensure material is routed for proper composting, helping you stay aligned with evolving provincial organics requirements.
We have a variety of collection trucks and bins available to collect the organic waste from your multi-family property, business, industrial location, public institution, or event, removing it for proper disposal.
Waste Bin Rental & Collection for Commercial & Industrial Sites
When you’re busy running your business, we’re busy keeping your commercial waste management and recycling on track. Emterra supplies carts, totes, front-end bins, roll-off containers, and compactor solutions for commercial, construction, and industrial sites across Canada. We match container type to your waste volume, site constraints, and pickup frequency — then handle removal so your team can focus on operations.
From construction waste to cardboard boxes, we offer Carts, Totes, Front End Bins, Roll Off Bins, and Compactor solutions that meet your business’ unique needs.
Ask your Emterra Environmental representative for the solution that is best for you.
Business Waste Stream Audits
Do you know what’s in your waste? A waste stream audit gives you a clear picture of what your business is throwing away, what could be recycled, and what it's costing you. Emterra's ICI waste audits identify diversion opportunities, flag contamination issues, and create a roadmap for reducing disposal fees and improving environmental reporting. Ideal for commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities looking to optimize their waste program and become more sustainablity focused.
Live Event Waste Services
A strategic waste management plan for your special event can help you determine the volume of waste that may be generated and ensure the right bins are placed in the right locations for your guests.
Waste, recycling, and compost removal are all options for managing events such as tournaments, festivals, concerts, and farmers' markets. Indoors or out, from opening time until the doors close, your guests will be focused on the event, not waste and recycling.
