Frequently Asked Questions — Commercial Recycling in Oshawa
Do you handle metal scrap and recycling for Oshawa automotive shops?
Yes — automotive shops along Simcoe Street and the south Oshawa industrial belt generate steel, aluminum, copper (radiators, wiring), and catalytic converters. We separate by metal type, weigh on-site, and pay scrap rates above minimum quantities. Used oil and antifreeze handled through partner haulers.
What does recycling cost for Oshawa downtown offices?
King Street and Bond Street office accounts: $95–175/week typically for cardboard, mixed paper, and shredding pickup. Older downtown buildings with stair-only or freight-elevator access may have a small access surcharge. Pickup scheduled to avoid peak business hours.
Do you serve light industrial and former GM-supplier accounts in south Oshawa?
Yes. South Oshawa light industrial generates pallets (clean reused, broken disposed), shrink wrap and stretch film, cardboard from receiving, and metal banding. We provide roll-off compactors for high-volume cardboard accounts and consolidated pickup for multi-stream programs.
Can you pick up recycling in north Oshawa's commercial growth area?
Yes — Taunton Road, Harmony Road, and the new Costco/Smart Centres commercial growth area. Standard weekly pickup at $35–125/week for retail and small office, with multi-tenant plaza programs available for shared cardboard compactor service.
Do you handle e-waste pickup for Oshawa businesses?
Yes — computers, monitors, printers, server equipment, and old AV gear. $4–8 per unit for standard items, free with monthly multi-stream accounts. We provide certificates of destruction for data-bearing devices and deliver to RPRA-approved processors with full chain-of-custody.
