In partnership with the Kwikwetlem First Nation, the Saskay Earth Exchange transfer station offers extensive disposal options including a state-of-the-art hydrovac disposal facility. The facility has been built with customer efficiency in mind, boasting two 80-foot scales with available E-Ticketing giving clients real time insight on project progress. The transfer station is centrally located in Port Coquitlam within 10 min drive time of the Trans Canada highway allowing clients to efficiently plan for projects. This is further enhanced by on-site gravel sales giving clients the opportunity to back haul gravels when needed, eliminating the need for trucks to visit multiple sites. The result being less trucks on the road for less time and a smaller carbon footprint.
