Our Community
A Community Partner Since 1971
We’ve been managing waste in Richmond for over half a century, growing alongside the city and the many communities within it as a trusted partner. We’re not just located here; we’re invested here, working every day to leave a lasting positive impact through responsible, innovative C&D waste management.
Our Commitment
We know that being a good neighbour means more than just managing waste responsibly. That’s why we’ll always work closely with local governments, provincial authorities, and regulatory bodies to ensure compliance with all environmental standards. This collaborative approach minimizes disruptions like noise, odour, and traffic, ensuring we operate respectfully and efficiently alongside the residential and commercial communities around us.
Annual Open House
Each September, Ecowaste opens up our gates to hundreds of members of the community at our Richmond waste management and recycling facility.
This fun, family-friendly event is an opportunity to learn more about what we do, how we do it, and to hear about how we're responsibly managing materials that come from construction projects.
Join us for our 2025 Open House:
