New United Boulevard Recycling & Waste Centre Now Open

Metro Vancouver's new United Boulevard Recycling and Waste Centre is now open. Located at 995 United Boulevard in Coquitlam, this one-stop drop-off facility will make recycling and waste management more convenient for the region's residents.

The facility will replace the nearby Coquitlam Recycling and Waste Centre, which will close at the end of the day on March 12. The Coquitlam Recycling and Waste Centre is on leased land that is being redeveloped as part of the Fraser Mills community.

The United Boulevard Recycling and Waste Centre, which will be three times larger than the old facility, will enhance customer experience with more room to queue safely and twice as many weigh scales, and maximize recycling and reduction opportunities. It will accept a wide range of recyclables, including:

• Used automotive oil, antifreeze, and oil containers
• Batteries, electronics, and light fixtures
• Plastic containers and bags
• Books, magazines, and other paper
• Clothing and textiles
• Mattresses and box springs
• Yard trimmings and food waste
• Gypsum
• Glass
• Styrofoam

The United Boulevard Recycling and Waste Centre will be open 363 days a year (closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day). For more information, please visit newwestcity.ca
