New garbage and organics bins rolling out in July

Starting in July, single-family homes and non-strata townhomes will begin receiving their new bins for the automated garbage and organic bins collection system ahead of the program that will begin in August.  

Please wait until your first collection day on or after August 1, 2025 to use your bins. Until then, keep an eye out on this page for more information! 

Thank you for your patience while we roll out this exciting program.

What’s changing?

Langley City is modernizing waste collection to improve efficiency, cleanliness, and sustainability with new automated collection bins. These bins are designed to make waste disposal cleaner and more efficient.  The new bins will be collected by an electric truck, reflecting the City’s commitment to environmental responsibility. 

The new bins will also be tagged with Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to help track the collection of bins to optimize routes and ensure all bins are picked up.  

The new standard 240L bins are larger than a standardized 80L garbage bin allowing for more convenient waste disposal. With the new wheels, it will make for easier moving for the resident.  

Benefits of the new system

  • Ease of use: the bins have wheels at the bottom to help with moving them 

  • Less landfill waste: better sorting will divert organics from the landfill. 

  • Cleaner streets: Sealed bins reduce litter and animals from getting into the bins. The standardized bins will also look nicer.  

  • Healthy environment: The new bins will be picked by an electric truck reducing pollution 

  • Efficient service: automated service means more efficient pick ups, saving the city money 

Rollout Schedule

Here’s what to expect: 

Delivery rollout of bins begins on July 9, 2025 
One 240-litre garbage bin and one organic bin will be delivered to applicable Langley City homes beginning on July 9, 2025.  

New program begins in August 2025 
There are no changes to your garbage and organic collection dates. Fill up and set out your new carts, for your first collection date on or after August 1, 2025. 

How to use the new bins

  • Place bins at the curb by 7:30 AM on your scheduled collection day. Your collection day will not change. 

  • Wheels should face your house, with the lid opening toward the street. 

  • Leave at least 1 meter (3 feet) of space between each bin and any obstacles such as other bins, parked cars, poles, fences, or mailboxes 

  • Ensure the lid is fully closed—overfilled bins may not be collected. 

  • Do not block sidewalks or driveways. 

  • Store the new bins within your property boundary -- in your garage, backyard, side of your home or front yard. Do not store them on the road or sidewalk.
