Curbside Collection

It likely appears to most that curbside collection starts at the curbside but as an experienced operator, Emterra understands there are many more steps to this process. As an organization we work with our customers to ensure that materials are collected on time and on budget.

Guided by award winning leadership, and Emterra’s commitment for outstanding customer service, we are able to effectively and efficiently deliver nationally recognized collection programs to more than 10 per cent of Canada’s population.

Materials Processing

Materials Processing

At Emterra, we sort all of the recyclable materials we receive to maximize recycling and minimize waste. Recyclable materials are sorted into valuable commodity types before they are shipped out for their transformation into new green products. We use leading-edge technology and processes to produce an end product with the least residue, highest grades and best value for our end-market buyers.

We accept an enormous range of post-consumer recyclable material in loose or baled form. Unlike other recycling companies, unsorted and mixed recyclables can also be accepted!

Diverting material away from the trash can and into the recycling bin reduces your disposal fees and can give you overall cost savings. Our waste experts may even find other ways to unlock value in your material.

Recyclables Marketing and Logistics

Recyclables Marketing and Logistics

Our Materials Marketing team works hard to stay on top of local, regional and global trends to identify the best markets for your materials. As economies fluctuate, it is increasingly important to work with a recycler that has a network of buyers and warehousing capacity and offers logistic services to ensure your materials actually get recycled.

Finding and developing stable, environmentally-sound markets for a wide range of recycled commodities plays a central role in a circular economy. We have established long-term relationships with domestic and export end markets built from decades of experience.

We keep our commodities flowing during all economic cycles because we provide quality materials that meet or exceed our buyers’ specifications.

Material Buyers

“Emterra Environmental’s excellence in material recycling operations makes our partnership, one of tremendous strength. Merlin Plastics intends to purchase 100 per cent of the sorted plastics generated from your material recovery facility. We look forward to participating with Emterra and building upon the solid relationship existing between our companies for the past twenty years.”
