We live in a culture where technology is growing and changing so rapidly that all our old technology is becoming disposable at the same rate. In Metro Vancouver, a third of all landfill violations were as a result of electronic waste (e-waste). This is a shockingly high number, not just because people are throwing away […]

Metro Vancouver already has a solid green waste program where food scraps are mixed with green waste (yard and leave clippings) to create a soil nutrient compost. However, the green waste program does not facilitate larger quantities of green waste. Ever wonder where your green waste can go in the city and what happens to […]

Recently, we made a trip to My Sister’s Closet which is a Battered Women’s Support Services thrift-store initiative to help raise funds to ending violence to women across Canada. As we believe community impact is a vital measure of business success, all clothing from our operations will be donated to this great community-minded service. A […]

A few months back we had the great opportunity to forge a relationship with the “Get Youth Working Program” of British Columbia. This is a great organization that provides opportunities to hire, train, and educate youths through real job experience. Our new hire, Tyler, has been a great fit for us thus far. We believe […]

Every story has three parts: a beginning, a middle and an end. Beginnings set the scene and endings bring closure but the middle is the real meat of the story.

They help to reduce breeding in feral cat colonies and find homes […]

Today is a big step for EZ JUNK, particularly for our bin rental business in Metro Vancouver! We started approximately 3 years ago renting mini-sized bins catering for construction and roofing projects on a smaller scale. With the purchase of a new cable-pulley truck we are now ready to service large sized construction and renovation […]

For many years the only place residents of British Columbia could take styrofoam was to the landfill. Styrofoam is a type of plastic called polystyrene and is used for many applications (such as packaging) – we all by now, hopefully, understand that plastic is one of the worst types of material for our environment. As […]

In this electronic age of consumption and disposal, where modern technology is expanding exponentially fast like lab bacteria do, and where people are moving through phones, televisions, and cars as quick as their text conversations, it is no wonder then that the junk removal industry is a highly occupied and dense business. The age-old adage […]

Just a couple of the multiple pet carrier crates we will have donated to VOKRA (orphan kitten rescue) this year! It is important as a business and as an individual to support your local animal shelters, as they are all doing beautiful work through out the year! We have bigger plans to add to our […]
