We operate eight material recovery facilities in Canada and recycle a variety of materials, including newspaper, cardboard, office paper, plastic containers, glass bottles, fibreboard, wood and ferrous and aluminum metals.

Transfer Services
BFI Canada operates four transfer stations that serve as the connection points between collections and material recovery, landfills and other disposal sites.
These transfer stations receive non-hazardous solid waste and then safely and cost-effectively transport it, in bulk, to a designated facility.
Disposal Services
We operate five landfills in Canada. These operations are designed to meet the highest standards of environmental protection while effectively disposing of non-recyclable, non-hazardous solid waste that cannot be diverted.
Our facilities are staffed by experienced operators who employ the most modern landfill operating procedures. To ensure that we continue to meet the highest environmental protection standards, we encourage government inspections of our sites and invest in independent third-party monitoring.
We have also invested in landfill gas-to-energy capabilities at our largest landfills, including our Lachenaie Landfill in Quebec. The Lachenaie Landfill operates a landfill gas recovery system which generates electricity for use by Quebec Hydro.
