• Your collection schedule is not changing
• The materials that are accepted will not change

When recyclables are sorted into three streams (glass, fibres, and containers), we can ensure that more of the materials that are collected are recycled, and improve the performance of your recycling program.

Learn how to correctly sort your materials using the following resources:

• Your Recycle BC residential recycling guide
• RecycleBC.ca/Materials has our accepted material list available for download, as well as a “What Can I Recycle?” search tool
• Download the Recycle BC app from the App Store or Google Play, or visit RecycleBC.ca/App

Please sort curbside recyclables as follows:

• Use the yellow bag for paper and packaging that held dry products (shoes, crackers, etc.). Corrugated cardboard that does not fit in this bag can be flattened, cut into pieces smaller than 30 x 30 inches (76 x 76 cm), and stacked between recycling containers.
• Use the other blue box for non-deposit containers (plastic, aluminum, steel, etc.) and paper cups and cartons (coffee cups, cartons etc.).
• Use the green box for non-deposit glass bottles and jars.

There is no limit to how much recycling you can set out. If all of your materials do not fit in your recycling boxes and bags, please try consolidating them. For example, bulky plastic jugs, cartons, and boxes can be flattened; smaller metal cans be placed inside larger metal cans; plastic containers can be fitted inside each other (e.g. yogurt containers), etc. If you have additional recyclables that do not fit into your blue boxes, these can be placed in a rigid container of your choice, such as a laundry hamper. Corrugated cardboard that does not fit in your bag can be flattened, cut into pieces no larger than 30” x 30” (78 cm x 78 cm), and stacked between your recycling containers.

Please contact GFL Environmental at srrecycle@gflenv.com or 778-765-3662 for additional boxes and bags.
