Garbage

Most properties can avoid additional fees by maximizing use of their Green Cart and recycling programs. 60-70% of household waste can be recycled or composted. If your property is still generating too much garbage for your cart, you can choose from the following options:

1) Extra Garbage stickers

Properties that occasionally produce extra garbage may purchase Extra Garbage stickers. Excess garbage must display an Extra Garbage sticker per bin or bag in order to be collected. Stickers are available for purchase at these participating retail locations at a fee of $3 per sticker:

• Lee’s Market (23320 Mavis Avenue, Fort Langley)
• IGA 2410 (200 Street, Brookswood)
• IGA 48th Ave – 102, 22259 48 Ave
• FreshCO (27566 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove)
• Fresh St. Market (20159 - 88 Avenue, Walnut Grove)

Extra Garbage stickers are also available by mail. To order, call Township Customer Service at 604-534-3211.

Extra garbage will only be collected on the weeks designated for garbage collection.

2) Additional Carts

Properties that regularly produce excess garbage may obtain up to two (2) additional garbage carts for their property. Additional fees will be applied to your annual tax notice. A $50 administration fee will also apply per cart delivered.
