Oak Bay Public Works

I waited 40 minutes to drop off 45 seconds of styrofoam. Slow isn't the word for it.

Great staff, seems like they deal with the occasional challenge and keep a positive attitude!!!

helpful staff, everything is laid out in a simple and understandable way. bit of a long line up but that's not reflective of the facilities themself

This is a hidden gem in Oak Bay! Very close to everything. You do need a proof of address to use this recycling/ garbage center. Very friendly staff!

What a Joke. They are frequently unable to take certain standard items like paper/cardboard. When one of their bins is full they make it the customers problem. They fail to anticipate and prep for high volume times like after Holidays. Last time I brought cardboard the bin was full. I began adding my recycling to a growing pile next to the full bin. A belligerent employee threatened to fine me unless I removed the large existing pile (not my recycling). I explained that it was not my stuff... he did not care and said he had my license plate number and would fine me unless the whole existing pile of other peoples recycling was put in my van and taken away. I was there again today. No paper/cardboard recycling and again it’s the customers problem. This time it was a different staff member. She was polite but unapologetic stating that I was unable to dump my sorted recycling at the refuse centre.

Convenient location and encourages recycling. However it's discouraging when you see people putting the wrong materials in bins. Read the signs people...

I called on Thursday about a water leak to my main water and Kevin came to check it out Friday am. True professionals and always there to be of service. I have a small leak in my water line to the house so they will come repair it which will certainly help reduce my water bill! Thank you all for being so quick to respond! Margo Brody

Having this so accessible is wonderful...we come often..the GUYS directing us..very pleasant..do a great job.

Could be closed earlier without any notice. Quite frustrating.

If you are lucky enough to live in Oak Bay you get to go a very convenient well run dump.
