Default Garbage dumps in Vancouver!

Hi everyone. I wonder if someone can give us the address for the closest garbage dump to north Vancouver as we have lots and lots of packaging stuff to get rid of and they are taking a lot of space in our house.

P.S. We asked the shipping company to leave everything packed as we are doing some renovation and we didn't want our stuff to get dusty ( I suppose I am regretting it now)

Many Thanks

North Shore Transfer Station Overflow Lot
Opening June 28, 2010
The North Shore Transfer Station (NSTS), operated by Wastech Services Ltd., has been serving customers in the Lower Mainland since 1988. Over the years, the facility has seen an increase in usage resulting in higher volumes of traffic, longer line-ups on the neighbouring municipal streets and a need for on-site traffic control personnel.

To help alleviate these issues and restore access to local businesses in the area, Metro Vancouver has constructed a traffic overflow lot adjacent to the NSTS at 30 Riverside Drive. This new lot will be operational during peak traffic hours and can hold up to 70 vehicles in queue at one time. As a result of this, the number of traffic control personnel stationed around the NSTS will decrease as customers become familiar with the new traffic patterns on Riverside Drive.

Hi
And most importantly
there is a tim hortons on the corner before you turn in,
helps to pass the time, in the unlikely event there is a line of cars.
cheers
