How our drop-off process works

Your visit to TRY Recycling will be effortless thanks to our simple 3-step drop-off process and 1-on-1 customer service you won’t find anywhere else.

Vehicle Weigh-in

When you arrive at one of our drop-off facilities, head straight to our weighing station. Weighing your vehicle is the first step in determining the cost of your material drop-off.

Material Drop-off

After you’ve weighed in, TRY Recycling staff will direct you to one of our designated dumping areas where you off-load your waste material.

Re-weigh & Pay

Once your material is off-loaded, we weigh your vehicle again and determine the cost of your drop-off based on the difference from your initial weigh-in and the type of material.

How? We divert 80–85% of waste material that comes through our facilities from going into local landfills and re-process those materials on-site. We turn wood products, leaf and yard waste, asphalt shingles, concrete, and more, into reusable materials that are redistributed across Canada.
