Recycle it Right! + Coexisting with Wildlife

Coexisting with WildlifeMany of the wildlife encounters in Burnaby can be prevented by responsibly managing garbage, green bin and recycling and other attractants.

How to Manage Your Garbage & Food Scraps

• Store all materials inside the house, shed or secure enclosure until the morning of collection;

• Rinse blue box and grey box recyclables to remove residues;

• Freeze food waste and add it to your green bin on the morning of collection, and

• Wash your garbage and green bin regularly with a mild soap or vinegar and water solution (Note: Do not pour down any outside drains, only onto grass or gravel surfaces).

How to Manage Other Attractants

For more information visit www.burnaby.ca/wildlife+waste

Compost correctly

Remove outdoor fridges & freezers

Clean barbecues after use

Remove bird feeders during

bear season

Feed pets and store pet food

inside

Pick fruit & berries as soon as they are ripe

Recycle It Right!Please ensure you are recycling right and placing the correct materials into your green bin, recycling and garbage. The City of Burnaby actively checks for contamination during collection. Placing unacceptable materials into your green bin, recycling or garbage containers could lead to your materials not being collected and/or receiving fines for contamination.

Green Bin: Food scraps, food-soiled paper and yard trimmings. Collected weekly.

Recycling: Containers, newspapers, glass and paper products. Collected weekly.

Garbage: Waste that can’t be composted or recycled. Collected every other week.

Drop Off: Materials accepted at the City’s Eco-Centre or through a Provincial Take-Back Program.

GARBAGE/GREEN BIN SERIAL NUMBER

Keep track of your containers. Write your address on the lid of your containers. Record

the serial number on the front of your containers.

Your Food isn’t Garbage

Place your Green Bin out on your scheduled collection day. Your Green Bin does not have to be full to be collected.

Collect Your food scraps in a container of your choice. Line container with newspaper or brown paper bags to keep it clean.

Empty your kitchen container into your Green Bin along with your yard material.

Green Bin Tips:Keep your Green Bin clean and avoid odour:

• Wrap your scraps using news-paper, boxboard or paper bags before placing in Green Bin.

About 40% 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.

Recycle your food scraps in 3 easy steps:

• Keep Green Bin in a shady area, out of direct sunlight or inside a shed/garage.

• Keep lid closed to deter pests.

• Freeze food scraps before placing them in the Green Bin.

Seasonal Information

Don’t Leaf it on the street...

Leaves blown from your property onto

streets could pose safety concerns and cover

catch basins, potentially resulting in localized

flooding due to clogged catch basins. Help

us by not blowing leaves from your property

onto the street, and remove any leaves or

debris away from catch basins so the water can easily drain.

For more information about leaf collection, Visit burnaby.ca/garbageandrecycling

Be Snow SmartAlthough our winters may be milder on the west coast of Canada,

you need to be ready to handle cold snaps, frosty roads and snowfall.

During winter conditions, everyone has a role to play to ensure streets and

sidewalks are safe.

Get in the know about snow, visit burnaby.ca/besnowsmart

Seasonal Information

Water Restrictions

Water is a valuable resource, and we can all take steps to conserve water,

particularly during the warm summer months when water use almost doubles.

Please see burnaby.ca/waterrestrictions for more information, and for watering

restrictions.

Let it Grow, Naturally!

In April 2009, the City of Burnaby passed the Pesticide Use Control Bylaw that restricts the

use of cosmetic pesticides. Many conventional pesticides can no longer be used for lawn

and garden beautification and maintenance on residential and City lands, even if they are

legally allowed for sale. Having a pesticide free yard does not mean the end of your yard!

Your lawn and garden can be healthy and pest free without using chemical pesticides.

Please see burnaby.ca/LetitGrowNaturally for more information and a list of permitted pesticides that are safer alternatives.

Watermain Flushing

The City’s Engineering Department has an annual program of flushing and cleaning

watermains.

This activity may cause pressure fluctuations, some discoloration and sediment in

the water supply reaching your home or business. These conditions should be of

short duration and do not pose a health hazard.

If your water appears discoloured after our crews have finished flushing, clear your

water by running a cold water tap. If you have questions or specific concerns, please

contact the Engineering Department at (604) 294-7221.
