Ongoing schedule, except Dec 25 and Jan 1:
Recyclables are picked up from single family homes, multi-family housing, and commercial properties.
With the exception of Christmas and New Years days, the CRD curbside collection proceeds as usual on holidays.
Bag, box and separate box:
What can you put into blue bags and blue boxes?
Visit the main Blue Box Program page to learn what’s accepted and how to prepare your materials.
Generally speaking, the blue bags are for paper products, and the blue boxes are for everything else (except glass).
Clean glass bottles and jars should be put into a separate blue box or similar container.
