Residential Recycling Schedule
Recycling Collection Services Provided at No Cost to
Curbside Collection Customers
In 2014, the province mandated a producer-run recycling program to encourage reduced packaging and waste. In 2015, Langley City joined Recycle BC, a not-for-profit organization responsible for residential packaging and paper recycling across the province. Joining Recycle BC will help ensure that we maximize the amount of material recycled, as well as save the City and taxpayers money.
Sorting Requirements
Recycle BC and GFL Environmental will not collect recycling if it has not been properly sorted into three categories: paper, containers, and glass. If this occurs, the driver will leave behind an "oops" sticker to inform the resident why their material was not collected. Proper sorting ensures that more of the collected material is successfully recycled.
Every truck has separate compartments for recycling, and it's the driver's responsibility to ensure that the materials are placed correctly in the compartments.
