SCV Commercial Sustainability Cost Benefits

Implementing dedicated recycling and organics programs leads to significant cost reduction by addressing two major factors:

  • Lower Landfill Fees: Diverting high-volume and heavy organic and recyclable materials from your general refuse bins directly reduces the size and frequency of expensive garbage pickups.
  • Optimized Service: We help you choose the ideal size and schedule for all your waste streams, ensuring you are operating as efficiently as possible.

Maximize resource recovery and minimize landfill fees! Contact us today for a free waste stream consultation to identify cost-saving opportunities.

SCV Comprehensive Commercial Recycling & Composting

We offer comprehensive collection to handle a wide variety of business waste streams:

  • Commercial Recycling: We collect common materials like cardboard, mixed paper, glass, and plastics, and offer specialized programs for materials such as electronics, metals, and construction recyclables.
  • Commercial Compost (Organics): We collect all food scraps (pre- and post-consumer), yard trimmings, and other organic materials, providing a necessary service for restaurants, grocery stores, and agricultural operations.

Need a customized program for unique waste streams? Call our specialists at 250-832-9292 or 250-540-9300 to discuss your exact needs.

SCV Flexible Commercial Sustainability Service

    I have a 2 year old who looks forward to garbage/recycling day as he loves the big truck. Phil, Collin and the other members of SCV Waste Solutions that come by our house make an extra effort to wave and honk the horn for him. He loves it! Much appreciated!

  • Employees make up endless excuses (outside of their pickup conditions), or are rude when even asking about rolloff service etc. Management is rude and unprofessional, bordering outright hostile. Take your business elsewhere and push City Hall for other options such as in-house waste collection like other municipalities.

    Friendly staff Phil and Collin helpful and kind.

  • I have lived at my present residence for approx. 6 years. For much of that time our waste management collection has been done by one driver - Phil. He is extraordinary in many ways - punctual, good natured & friendly, helpful and always has a friendly wave. He should be considered as a very valuable employee to your company. As of late he has had a helper by the name of Collin who I am sure, is benefiting from Phil's example. Great team!

  • If I could give a 0 star I would. Lady on the phone was so incredibly rude. Yelling at me for asking why I was charged for an empty bin during a lockdown. Unbelievable. Trying to do business local and with small businesses but rudeness like this makes it really hard.

    Our business in Vernon has been with SCV for the last 2 years for garbage and cardboard and we’ve have had nothing but excellent service. From quick extra pick ups if we needed them to our rep stopping in to see how things are going. I highly recommend. I’ve used other companies in the past and haven’t received anything close to the great costumer service I have from this company. Five stars for sure!

    They have the city residential garbage pick up. The balding man with glasses is rude as I had a can that was near the weight limit. Completely unprofessional human being. I think the city should look at their contract.

  • I’m salmon arm we only get our garbage picked up every 2 weeks. We pay for this with our property taxes. I have a family of 5, do whatever I can to recycle yet over half the time scv will not take it. They give the can a quick shake and tag it as too heavy. My 10 yr old daughter brings out to the curb no problem and the can isn’t even filled to the top. I always have it lined with a garbage bag but they are so inconsistent with what they will and will not take. Contacted scv today, he gave a number to send photos and then no response. Not sure what else residents can do about this company.

    Very pleased with the service. I believe Ryan is our regular driver and he is more than just the driver. A very friendly and courteous operator always a pleasure to chat with if we happen to see him on his rounds. Barbara and Simon Sherwood village Strata
