Waste Drop Off & Recycling

Make your cleanouts, renovations, or landscaping projects easy with Milner Waste.

Our waste drop-off facility ensures that recyclable materials are diverted from the landfill whenever possible.

Committed to Sustainability

Milner Recycling began as Nanaimo’s wood waste and asphalt shingle disposal site and has grown into a full-service recycling facility. We accept non-hazardous waste from residential, commercial, and municipal customers, using on-site sorting and equipment to divert the majority of materials from landfill.

Materials Accepted & Fees

We accept a wide range of waste including construction debris, household junk, yard waste, and more. Our team sorts your materials to ensure recyclables are properly processed, making disposal simple and stress-free.
