Disposal of larger tanks in GVRD
I'm just wondering what to do...
I have a RSM250 tank that I don't need anymore. Tried selling it for cheap with no luck so I'm just going to get rid of it.\ It's a good sized tank....probably 36 x 18 x 24 or something and it's not in pieces or anything...still a solid glass box. I wonder if it qualifies as a large item pick up by the city? Can I just call them and leave it on the curb? Or are there some glass recycling places around what will take them? Appreciate your help/input. Funny how I've had so many tanks but never had to throw one away before. Last edited by gobytron; 05-10-2016 at 04:20 PM. |

My guess is you'd have to take the panes of glass apart and take them to a recycle depot. Not a bottle drop off but a municipality kind of place.

Ah man, Really?
Can I please ask if you're just assuming or have you had to do this yourself??? If you're speaking from experience, I can give up now... It's a red sea max, so there is a front pane and sides that are all one piece of glass, not to mention some pretty serious plastic trim. If that IS the case, prob easier to smash it on a tarp and roll it up and toss the tarp in the bin? Very much appreciate your input/help, thank you. Last edited by gobytron; 05-10-2016 at 04:38 PM. |

Lol.
It's not leaking but there is a crack. I'm not willing to fix or take the risk either. TO be honest, 3 different people committed to picking it up and subsequently flaked. I was only selling it for 50 bucks (minus canopy) so it's now at the point where it's more worth the hassle to dispose of it than sell it. Seems like tarp and smash is my best option? |

and yes, sledge hammer and tarp would be the most fun here lol |

Sorry Goby, but for Coquitlam you can't put them out for recycle. It would have to go somewhere like Wastech, city won't pick that up.

Appreciate that...
I was looking online and saw no mirrors or glass for large item pick up but thought I might try anyways...thanks for the confirmation. If no one else knows where to take stuff like this specifically, I am going to tarp and smash on Sunday afternoon, barring anyone grabbing it before then.
