Holiday Waste & Recycling
The holidays can be one of the most wasteful times of the year. Check out Metro Vancouver's Create Memories, Not Garbage campaign for creative ideas to reduce holiday waste.
If you cannot reuse items, you can find a list of common items below that are disposed of during the holiday season and the appropriate place to put them.
Please help us keep the community clean, if you see an overflowing bin look for another one or try another day. Operators are working hard at this time to make sure bins are emptied regularly. Garbage left outside of bins can be an animal attractant and an eyesore for everyone in the community.
