Help us continue to manage over 95% of collected materials by recycling. Recycle containers and paper at home (in most communities). Take flexible plastics and foam to the depot.

Explore other rooms in your home for recycling opportunities – the bathroom, office, garage all have lots of packaging and paper destined for great things – you just have to give them the chance!

We manage 98% of the plastic we collect by recycling, and most right here in BC! But we need your help to collect all the plastic packaging supplied to residents!

We love a good system. Create your at-home sorting system to ensure it’s easy to drop your flexible plastics and foam at the depot or London Drugs store on your next outing. Here are some sorting systems we like.
