Garbage, Recycling and Green Cart
Online request services for collection programs
Do you need a new blue box or yellow bag? Are you looking to change a garbage or Green Cart to a different size? Maybe you’re looking to schedule a Large Item Pick Up? The Township has improved its online request services for curbside collection programs. Requests for recycling containers, changes to garbage or Green Carts, or scheduling of Large Item Pick Ups can all be completed online. See each of the forms below:
- Request recycling containers
- Request changes to the garbage or Green Cart at your property
- Book a Large Item Pick Up
Sort it right
Are you still including glass bottles in your blue box? Maybe you’re still separating newsprint from other paper products. As of last summer, the Township’s recycling program requires new sorting requirements affecting glass bottles, newsprint, and other items. Make sure you’re sorting it right by using our ‘What Goes Where’ tool below, or by reviewing our recycling guide now available in English, Punjabi, Chinese, and Korean. Remember, bins don’t sort recycling, people do!
Recycling in the Township
Do you ever wonder why you go through the work of sorting items at home, only for it to look like the recycling truck empties everything into the same spot? You’re not alone! Rest assured the recyclables you separate at home stay separated once collected. Watch our short video to see how recycling trucks are designed to keep items separated.
Acceptable recycling containers
Throughout the year you may find you have too much recycling to fit in your current recycling bins. The Township of Langley provides blue boxes, grey boxes, and yellow bags to residents at no charge. Properties are permitted to set out unlimited amounts of residential recycling provided it is sorted into the appropriate container. The use of clear or translucent blue bags for extra recyclables is not accepted.
