Temporary pause on household hazardous waste collection at the Vancouver Landfill
Starting March 24, 2025, we will temporarily stop accepting certain hazardous waste items because of necessary renovations at the Landfill Zero Waste Centre in Delta.
Affected items include:
- Antifreeze (and their containers)
- Used oil (and their containers) and filters
- Paint and empty paint cans
- Pesticides
- Flammable liquids
- Fire extinguishers

Check back for updates on when these items will be accepted again.
Recyclables deserve a second chance. Items that are not collected in your curbside program may be recycled at one of our drop-off facilities along with curbside recyclables in larger quantities.
We own and operate a recycling depot and transfer station in south Vancouver, as well as an engineered landfill and residential recycling depot in Delta.
