Burnaby Waste Disposal

If you are recycling your waste in Burnaby, here’s how to go about with the curb-side pick ups. 

 

• Set out your garbage, green bin and recycling in the lane or street you normally use by 7am on your collection day. Do not place your containers out the night before collection.

 

• Place containers so the arrows on the lid point toward the centre of the lane or street (handles will face your property).

 

 

• Place your containers so that there is at least 1m (3ft) of space on all sides and 3m (10ft) of clearance above.

 

• Garbage bin, green bin and recycling containers must be removed off of the lane or street by 8pm on your collection day and secured on your property.  

 

• Rinse your receptacles weekly with mild soap or vinegar/water mix (pour soapy water onto grass or gravel, never down an outside drain).

 

• Dispose of all used tissues, hygiene products, cleaning cloths, face masks, gloves and similar products in securely tied bags and place them in your garbage bin. Unbagged or loose items will not be collected. 

Green Bins

If you are using green bins, here’s some things to keep in mind: 

 

• Over 40 per cent of a typical residential household’s garbage is food scraps and food-soiled paper products. Help reduce waste by placing your food scraps and food-soiled paper, along with your yard material, into your green bin for composting. 

 

• Keep your green bin clean to avoid odour and attractants. 

 

• Wrap your food scraps using newspaper, boxboard or paper bags before placing in green bin. 

 

• Rinse it weekly with mild soap or vinegar/water mix (pour soapy water onto grass or gravel, never down an outside drain). 

 

• Keep your green bin in a shady area, out of direct sunlight or inside a shed/garage. 

 

• Keep the lid closed to deter pests. 

 

• Freeze food scraps before placing them in the green bin.
