Collection Fees and Tag-a-Bag Stickers
Notice: All Tag-a-Bag stickers with expiry date of April 2024 will be extended to April 2025.
The basic service level includes weekly collection of compostables (120L Green Cart) and unlimited recycling plus bi-weekly collection of glass and up to two containers of garbage. For more information about the program, click here.
If you produce more than two containers of garbage every two weeks, you are required to use Tag-a-Bag stickers. Residents may request four free garbage tag-a-bag stickers each year in person at City Hall or by contacting Environmental Services at [email protected] or 604.793.2787.
All year long, you may place up to 10 additional paper bags of yard waste or bundles of branches out for collection in addition to your Green Cart at no extra cost. Each additional bag or bundle over the first 10 requires green yard waste Tag-a-Bag stickers.
Green Cart Update:
As of September 2023, the 80L Green Cart will not be available due the high cost of ordering more supply. Residents needing a new Green Cart may choose a 120L, 240L or 360L cart. Residents who currently have an 80L Green Cart may continue to use it.
Effective May 1, 2023, the City has the following rates for curbside service:
