Recycle BC is a non-profit organization responsible for residential packaging and paper products recycling throughout BC, servicing over 1.8 million households. Recycle BC ensures your household materials are picked up, sorted, and responsibly recycled. Our program is funded by over 1,200 businesses that include retailers, manufacturers and restaurants that supply packaging and paper products to BC residents, shifting costs away from homeowners.

NO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Exclude batteries; medical sharps; bleach or aerosol containers with any contents remaining; compressed gas cylinders, for example used propane cylinders; containers for paint, motor oil, vehicle lubricants, or antifreeze; or containers for pesticides with the words DANGER, WARNING or POISON, and precautionary octagon or diamond symbols with skull and cross bones.

RECYCLING TIPSYou can help ensure that more materials are recycled by following these steps:

Place your yellow bag between your grey box and your blue box, not across the top of them. Allow 1m (3 ft) between your recycling containers and your garbage and green bin.

Empty and rinse containers.

Contain shredded paper inside a paper bag or box before adding to your recycling.

Flatten cardboard, remove plastic wrap from cardboard flats. If too large for recycling container, flatten and cut to no larger than 30” wide (78 cm) by 30” tall (78 cm). Stack neatly and securely place beside or between recycling containers.
