Garbage, Recycling & Green Can

The City continues to develop innovative programs and services to reduce and manage our waste materials. However, 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.

Garbage is collected every other week. Recycling, green cans and yard waste are collected weekly.
Recycling in apartments & townhomes is simple with three blue carts: containers, glass, paper.

Use your curbside Green Can or multi-family Green bin to dispose of food waste.
The North Shore Recycling and Waste Centre is located at 30 Riverside Drive, North Vancouver.
