The North Shore Recycling Drop-off Depot is a staffed, self-serve municipal recycling facility available to North Shore residents for the drop off of larger volumes and sizes of materials than might be practical in the curbside drop-off program.  The facility is also open to small businesses who need to recycle materials such as corrugated cardboard and paper, but residential traffic always takes priority, as the facility is funded through a residential solid waste utility.

The depot is open 7 days per week during the following hours:

• Monday thru Friday - 8:00 am to 9:00 pm (April 1 to October 31)
• Monday thru Friday - 8:00 am to 5:00 pm (November 1 to March 31)
• Saturday & Sundays - 8:00 am to 6:00 pm
• Statutory holidays - 8:00 am to 5:00 pm

(Closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day)

The North Shore Recycling Drop-off Depot has bins for larger volumes of mixed paper, corrugated cardboard, telephone books and glass, as well as tin cans, some small mixed metals, food-grade aluminum (cans, plates, etc.) and rigid plastics #1, #2, #4 and #5. Just save up your materials for a month or so, then take them on down to the North Shore Recycling Drop-off Depot when you're heading for the 2nd Narrows Bridge. And if it's your first time visiting, make sure to say hi to a staff member - they'll be able to help you out with the location of the bins, what goes where, etc.
