Curbside Programs

Many municipalities across British Columbia offer curbside collection of garbage, recycling and organics. Accepted materials and preparation guidelines vary across municipal and regional boundaries. In some areas collection is provided by the city, others by the regional district and some by private collection companies.

Still have questions? Contact the RCBC Recycling Hotline.
