Turn your food scraps into compost: Help make Vancouver greener

If you live in Riley Park and Sunset, you may have been selected for the expanded food scraps pilot program.

In the expanded pilot program, you can add more food scraps to your compostables cart than what was previously allowed.

Not part of the expanded pilot program?

As long as you currently receive the City yard trimmings collection service, continue to put uncooked fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds and filters, teabags, and eggshells into your cart for collection. Learn more

Live in an apartment or condo?

At this time, the City will not be able to provide this collection service to multi-unit residences such as apartments and condominiums or businesses. However, we have compiled a list of private companies that can provide food waste collection services to your building.  View list

We have selected a few apartment buildings as part of a four-month Apartment Food Scraps Recycling Pilot Program. If you live in one of these buildings, please visit the Riley/Park Sunset Pilot pages for details on how to recycle your food scraps. This pilot will help us to enhance our understanding of barriers and opportunities for food scrap collection in multi-family buildings.
