Regional Recycling has partnered with Anker Andersen, a Danish manufacturer renowned for its precision engineering, to bring Quikcount Systems to Richmond, Abbotsford, and Vancouver.

Fast Technology, Fast Returns

These state-of-the-art machines are designed to sort your beverage containers at lightning speeds, processing hundreds of items per minute. This means you can bring in your bags of unsorted recyclable beverage containers, including pop cans, beer cans, and plastic bottles up to 1 litre, and witness them being deposited directly into the Quikcount System. No glass is permitted; please do not add any glass containers to your Quikcount bags.

The containers are instantly sorted and counted, allowing you to calculate your return on the spot. No more waiting for your cash; you can leave the depot with your earnings the same day!

Saving Time and Earning Cash

Quikcount doesn’t just revolutionize recycling; it also saves you precious time. With each visit to our depots, you can experience the convenience of fast processing. By allowing our staff to feed your mixed containers into the Quikcount System, you can sit back and watch as they are swiftly sorted and counted. This time-saving solution means fewer trips to the depot, allowing you to maximize your productivity.

Estimates indicate that customers could reduce their time spent at the depot by up to 30%. This not only benefits you but also has a positive impact on the community. Reduced time at the depot means less traffic in parking lots, leading to decreased engine idling and smoother traffic flows. By choosing Quikcount, you’re not only earning faster returns but also actively contributing to a greener neighbourhood.

Quikcount is revolutionizing the recycling landscape, turbocharging the process and offering a cutting-edge in-depot recycling experience. Regional Recycling is proud to bring this hot new technology to a depot near you. Whether you choose to recycle at our depots or through our innovative FastDrop and Depozip services, our dedicated teams are ready to assist you.

 

Regional Recycling is proud to work with the Major Appliance Recycling Roundtable (MARR) the not-for-profit organization that manages British Columbia’s recycling program for end-of-life major household appliances. Working on behalf of appliance manufacturers and other regulated producers, MARR helps ensure that unwanted appliances are collected, recycled, and processed responsibly across the province.

Operating under BC’s Recycling Regulation, MARR oversees an approved stewardship program that keeps valuable materials in circulation, ensures environmentally responsible handling of hazardous components, and helps reduce waste sent to landfill. The program is governed by MARR’s Board of Directors and is designed to make appliance recycling convenient, accessible, and environmentally responsible for British Columbians.

In addition to Regional Recycling, there are over 200 certified Major Appliance Recycling Roundtable (MARR) collection sites throughout BC that make it easy to recycle responsibly. There is no charge to drop off eligible appliances, and you can be confident that every appliance is processed safely, with recyclable materials recovered and hazardous components handled by licensed professionals.
