About Salt Spring Garbage & Recycling
About Us
We offer a complete range of garbage and recycling services for both residential and commercial customers.
Since way back in 1960, Salt Spring Garbage & Recycling Company (the original trash heroes) have been cleaning up the community’s act on Salt Spring Island. At first, we were just a humble landfill, but in 1990 we decided to spruce things up and become a solid waste transfer station. Throughout all these years, we’ve remained a fan favourite – family-owned and operated since day uno!
At Salt Spring Garbage & Recycling, we’re the ultimate one-stop-trash-shop. Need to toss out your old stuff? We got you covered. We offer residential and commercial garbage pickups, and we also rent out 12 yard bins! Plus, we operate a solid waste transfer station right at 360 Blackburn Road. But wait, there’s more! We’re also green heroes, recycling metal, cardboard, drywall, small appliances, paper, electronic drywall, clean wood and green waste.

Blackburn Mall
Our transfer station, affectionately known as the “Blackburn Mall” by locals, features a unique twist: a designated area where you can drop off usable items after paying for their disposal. These items are then available for purchase by donation, with all proceeds supporting local high school scholarships each year. Not only does this initiative help keep items out of the landfill, but it also provides valuable resources to the community. It’s a place where you can find hidden treasures while contributing to a great cause!
