Commercial / Institutional Rooftop Unit Removal Vancouver

We’re excited to announce the official launch of Eco Metal Recycling’s Commercial/Industrial Rooftop Unit Removal service in Vancouver. Local property managers, developers, and facility engineers can now access our turnkey heavy-lift and sustainable recycling expertise—backed by 30 years of safe removals across Canada—without leaving the Lower Mainland.

When you book Eco Metal for a rooftop unit removal, you receive a single-source package that includes:

• Site assessment & lift plan – Structural review, crane sizing, traffic-control and safety logistics.

• Permit assistance – Guidance on City of Vancouver building-permit applications and street-use/road-closure coordination.

• Certified refrigerant recovery – Licensed HVAC-R technicians evacuate all halocarbons in full compliance with B.C. environmental regulations.

• Safe crane & rigging operations – WorkSafeBC-approved fall protection, experienced riggers, and real-time radio communication.

• Dismantling & load-out – On-roof torch-cutting (where required), selective structural removal, and debris containment.

• Responsible recycling & documentation – Metals hauled to approved Metro Vancouver processors with weight tickets for your ESG reporting.

• Zero-surprise close-out – Post-lift roof patch/curb plate, final inspection coordination, and a signed recycling certificate.

High-rise offices in Coal Harbour, heritage conversions in Gastown, and expansive distribution centres along Kent Avenue all rely on rooftop HVAC equipment that eventually reaches end-of-life. Eco Metal Recycling provides turnkey removal, craning and sustainable disposal of these units across the City of Vancouver and the wider Metro region.
