We continue to develop innovative programs and services to reduce and manage our waste materials. But the best way to deal with garbage is by not creating it in the first place – making small changes to how you purchase and use items can make a big difference.
The City's curbside recycling is managed by Recycle BC, a provincial stewardship group funded by the businesses that supply packaging and printed paper to BC residents, to shift recycling costs away from taxpayers and onto industry.
