Top 5 Eco-Friendly Junk Disposal Tips in Greater Victoria

Victoria is known for its natural beauty and strong environmental values. At Rai Junk, we’re proud to support the community by offering sustainable junk removal options. If you’re looking to keep your home clutter-free and reduce landfill waste, here are five eco-friendly tips to follow before you schedule a pickup.

1. Donate What You Can

Before tossing everything, set aside items in good condition. Victoria has great donation options:

• Salvation Army Thrift Store – Victoria

• WIN Resale Shops

• UsedVictoria.com for local classifieds

This helps others in the community and diverts waste from the landfill.

2. Recycle the Right Way

Sort materials like cardboard, metal, plastic, and electronics. You can drop them at:

• Hartland Depot (CRD)

• Bottle Depot Victoria

• Island Return-It Centres

Avoid putting recyclables in your junk pile — it costs more and wastes resources.

3. Compost Organic Waste

Leaves, grass clippings, and garden debris should be composted. You can use:

• The City of Victoria’s green bins

• Rai Junk’s yard waste removal service

This supports local composting programs and enriches our island's soil.

4. Don’t Toss Hazardous Materials

Paint, batteries, and solvents should never go in a landfill. Use CRD’s hazardous waste depots or contact us for help with separation.
