Frequently Asked Questions — Commercial Recycling in Pickering
Why do Pickering businesses need private recycling now?
Ontario Regulation 391/21 ended municipal Blue Box service for industrial, commercial, and institutional (IC&I) generators. Pickering offices, retail plazas, restaurants, and warehouses must now arrange private recycling pickup — RJR Demo & Junk provides this with weekly or bi-weekly cardboard, paper, plastic, and e-waste service.
What materials can Pickering offices recycle through your service?
Cardboard (broken-down boxes), office paper (mixed and shredded), plastic bottles and containers (#1, #2, #5), aluminum and steel cans, glass bottles, and electronics. We provide labelled bins, weekly or on-call pickup, and quarterly diversion reports for sustainability tracking.
Do you serve retail plazas and the Pickering Town Centre area?
Yes. We service multi-tenant retail plazas along Kingston Road and Brock Road with shared cardboard compactor pickup, individual bin service for restaurants and food courts, and dedicated e-waste pickup for electronics retailers. Property management billing available.
How is your Pickering commercial recycling priced?
Cardboard bin pickup starts at $35/week for a 64-gallon tote. Multi-stream programs (cardboard + mixed recyclables) start at $85/week for small offices. Larger commercial accounts with compactor pickup are quoted by volume — typically $200–600/month depending on frequency.
Do you provide recycling pickup for restaurants in Pickering?
Yes — restaurants in the Pickering Town Centre area, Brock Road corridor, and Kingston Road generate high cardboard, glass, and plastic volumes. We provide back-of-house bins, pickup 2–6 times per week, and food-waste diversion partnerships when requested.
