Average Canada generates tons of trash a year, it usually goes into the landfill. So much trash would quickly fill up the available space and introduce potentially hazardous substances into the soil and groundwater. Fortunately, Maple Leaf Disposal has made significant investments in recycling technology to help your home or business “go green” with a wide range of recycling services. Take care of your environment, by disposing of your recyclable materials effectively, responsibly, and safely.
In today’s environmentally conscious generation, simple waste removal is not enough. Our sustainability managers advocate ethical waste management standards and sustainable solutions for waste diversion. One of our primary goals is to continuously increase the number and quality of these recycling solutions, based on your needs. Also, we practice recycling as this business involves so much more than just the individual treatment processes.
ORGANIC RECYCLING PROGRAMS
Organic waste, or green waste, is organic material such as food, garden, and lawn clippings. Food and organic leftovers are different from normal trash and recycling and require a more specialized approach to turn them back into a resource. The efficient use of organic waste returns the nutrients back to the soil for ongoing soil health and fertility. When handled properly, It can become a valuable resource for communities, such as nutrient-rich compost. The following fall under this:
-
Retail Organics and Food Recycling
-
Commercial Organic and Food Recycling

BATTERY RECYCLING PROGRAMS
It’s very easy to fling a spent battery into general waste, but this runs the risk of soil contamination and water pollution if they are sent to landfill. That means it’s up to all of us – households, businesses, and waste management organizations to ensure that the maximum number of batteries are saved from landfill and recycled responsibly. Maple Leaf Disposal offers customized battery recycling programs for Vancouver, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, and surrounding areas in British Colombia.
There’s an additional problem here, not all batteries are created equal, so each type needs a specific recycling regime. Car batteries – and we receive thousands of every year – are filled with a sulphuric acid/water mix, even before we can consider what to do with the metals and plastics that make up the rest of the device.
FLUORESCENT LIGHT RECYCLING
Fluorescent lighting tubes are classified as hazardous waste due to their mercury content. They need to be disposed of correctly to make sure your home or business remains compliant. We offer a fully compliant and safe service for all types of lamps including fluorescent lamps, compact fluorescent tubes, street lamps, LEDs, and halogen lamps. We recycle materials that would otherwise be sent to landfills, minimizing your impact on the environment.
Maple Leaf Disposal provides friendly, reliable fluorescent tube disposal services to a wide range of organizations including local authorities, producer compliance schemes, retailers, wholesalers, waste management companies, and many other businesses. We go the extra mile to ensure our clients get the service they need when they need it – whether you have 10 or 10,000 fluorescent tubes!
PALLET RECYCLING PROGRAMS

Recycled pallets can be reconditioned to ‘like-new’ status and are almost indistinguishable from new pallets.

Wood is a precious natural resource, so it is important to conserve our wood consumption by recycling and reusing as many wood products as we can.
