Residential Recycling

Paper and packaging recycling is collected from single family residences. Please visit the Recycle BC website at https://recyclebc.ca/ for more information on the program.

Multi-family residences with more than four units currently participating in the RDNO Program (not including mobile home parks or strata complexes receiving individual unit curbside service) do NOT automatically receive service through the Recycle BC Program. Multi family residences are responsible to make their own arrangements through a waste services provider.
