Garbage Collection
Basics of Garbage Collection
City of Vancouver provides garbage collection to residential dwellings (single-family, duplex, and rowhouses) as well as some small apartments and small businesses (see garbage collection for multi-family and commercial properties).
Garbage and yard trimmings are collected by City crews using automated trucks equipped with mechanical arms. Under the automated system, residents dispose their garbage inside City provided wheeled carts.
The CIty also operates the Vancouver South Transfer Station (VSTS) and the Vancouver Landfill (VLF) in Delta.
