How to Dispose of or Recycle a Vacuum Cleaner in Vancouver

Let’s face it. Getting rid of an old vacuum cleaner isn’t fun. It’s big, awkward, and usually shoved in the back of a closet or basement. Once it stops working or you buy a new one, you’re stuck with the question: How do I dispose of a vacuum cleaner in Vancouver? And can it be recycled?

At Provident Junk Removal, we help people all over Vancouver get rid of vacuum cleaners and old appliances. Whether it’s a tiny hand vac or a commercial-grade machine, we take care of it for you. We also make sure it’s disposed of in an eco-friendly way.

So if you’ve got a vacuum cleaner collecting dust, read on. We’ll show you exactly what to do with it.

Why Responsible Disposal Matters

Vacuum cleaners are made with more than just plastic. They have electric motors, wiring, batteries and other parts that don’t belong in landfills. If you throw one out with your regular garbage, those parts could harm the environment.

This is why we always choose eco-friendly disposal methods. We recycle what we can and safely remove what we can’t.

A few months ago, we got a call from a woman in East Van. She had an old Hoover that belonged to her mother. It hadn’t worked in years, but she couldn’t bring herself to throw it away. It had too many memories. She didn’t want it dumped in a landfill. She just wanted to know it would be handled with care.

It’s moments like that that remind us we’re not just hauling junk. We’re helping people move on.
