 1.) Where did Happy Stan get his name?
When Stan chose the name Happy Stan’s Recycling, he was feeling really good that day about all the changes he was making with his previous company All Canadian Recycling Services Ltd. The truly funny thing is, both his lawyer and Victoria’s business registrar laughed when they heard the name. They then requested Stan to submit two other names but he refused. 2.) What happens to the materials after they have been collected? Happy Stan’s Recycling delivers all the materials to our recovery facility in Port Coquitlam where our trucks are emptied into our secure warehouse, where materials are then, cut, baled, or chipped. The material is then sorted into different grades and then shipped to various brokers and material processing plants. 3.) Why do we pay for recycling services, when Happy Stan’s sells the materials? Happy Stan’s does sell the material once it has been received, sorted, baled and then shipped. The sale of Material only represents about 40% of our revenue that is why we need to charge for services in order to balance the cost of collection, processing and recycling. In addition, there are certain material types which cost us money to recycle either due to the complexity of the item, or the type of materials used to create a certain products. For example, it cost money to recycle a computer monitor because the lead contained in that monitor is a hazardous substance and needs to be treated as such. 4.) Our office is moving, can we arrange a pick-up to clean everything out? No problem, please call our office to arrange a pick-up. Request a Quote. 5.) Can plastic retail bags be recycled? Yes, plastic bags are currently being recycled in some municipalities across the country. Many supermarket chains have begun their own collection and recycling programs for plastic grocery bags. The two primary products that plastic bags are recycled into include new plastic bags, plastic lumber for decking and park benches, speed bumps, containers, siding and other plastic products. 6.) Do you accept computers and electronics? Yes, we do accept all computers, electronics, and peripherals, and we encourage everybody to spread the word that they are able to drop off these items during our business hours. Monday-Friday 7:00am-3:30pm For additional information, please visit our computer and electronics section of this website. 7.) So, what don’t you accept???
