Does the City of Vancouver Junk Removal Include Metal Recycling?

Yes, city-run services in Vancouver include options for metal recycling, though the process differs from private pickup services. Residents can use the following city resources:

• Vancouver South Transfer Station: This is a major hub that accepts sorted metal loads from residents. The process requires you to haul the items yourself, where they are weighed and sorted.
• Vancouver Zero Waste Centre: This facility is available for municipal drop-off. For example, they charge a fee (approximately $20 per unit) for refrigerator disposal.

While city transfer stations offer a public resource for metal disposal, they are generally drop-off only and may involve variable fees based on weight or item type. This contrasts with private services like Junk Yard Angel, which offers free curbside pickup for high-value metal items such as large appliances, washers, and dryers, and ensures they are delivered to licensed recycling depots.
