December 1, 2013/in Green Buildings/by Green Coast Rubbish

In the grand scheme of things, Vancouver is a comparatively new city—particularly when it comes to architecture.

Building projects contribute to a huge amount of waste and pollution in Canada, and generate a large percentage […]

Paint Removal and Recycling

October 22, 2013/in Commercial Rubbish Removal and Recycling, Paint Recycling, Renovation Waste/by Green Coast Rubbish

Often the easiest way to brighten and freshen up your space is to add a coat of paint. While it can work wonders to liven up your home or office, sometimes we find ourselves with an excess left-over, and are unsure of where/how to safely dispose of it. The BC Product Care Association website suggests […]

The use of Styrofoam in packaging has created an alarming amount of waste in our landfills over the past few decades. Styrofoam or EPE (expanded polystyrene) is comprised of 98% air, and is non-biodegradable—which means that it will not break down on its own for a tremendous length of time. We often work with commercial […]

Electronics Recycling and E-Waste

July 29, 2013/in Commercial Rubbish Removal and Recycling, Electronics Recycling/by Green Coast Rubbish

We live in a pretty amazing time. It seems every week, an announcement for some new technology changes the face of televisions, computers, or cell phones. Electronics are getting smaller (or in the case of TV’s, BIGGER), faster, and more equipped to handle all the tasks in our busy lives. But it comes at a […]
