How Green Coast Rubbish Has Built Purpose-Driven Impact in British Columbia for Nearly 20 Years
In today’s world, where words like “tariff” dominate the media and environmental concerns are growing louder, one thing is clear: people are craving more from the companies they support.
They want sustainability. They want purpose. They want impact.
And for nearly 20 years, Green Coast Rubbish has quietly but powerfully delivered just that.
As a locally owned and operated Canadian business, Green Coast Rubbish has been a pillar of sustainability and community service in North Vancouver and across the Greater Vancouver Area.
Taking their commitment to environmental responsibility a step further, Green Coast Rubbish has started their sister company, Cove Repurpose, to give new life to discarded items.
With an inspirational mandate of changing perceptions of what waste really is:
Cove Repurpose transforms salvaged materials into sustainable, handcrafted products such as furniture, lamps, and more—turning waste into meaningful resources for the community.
While Green Coast Rubbish handles the junk removal, Cove Repurpose brings creativity and purpose to what might otherwise be thrown away.
Their story is not just one of junk removal—but of environmental leadership, social responsibility, and unwavering dedication to doing things the right way.
A Local Business Making a Global Difference
Green Coast Rubbish was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to redefine waste removal through ethical, environmentally conscious practices.

Environmental Stewardship in Action: The TELUS Kelp Planting Program
One of Green Coast Rubbish’s most powerful recent initiatives is their partnership with TELUS Environmental Solutions.
Together, they’re leading the charge in marine reforestation, planting kelp forests along BC’s coastline to restore biodiversity and combat climate change.
For every completed job, one kelp will be planted on behalf of Green Coast Rubbish.
Why kelp?
Kelp is one of the planet’s most effective carbon sinks. It protects marine species, absorbs CO₂, and strengthens coastal ecosystems.
Through this initiative, Green Coast Rubbish ensures that every junk removal job contributes to something bigger—a greener, healthier planet.
