“You’re gorgeous, baby, you’re sophisticated, you live well…Vancouver is Manhattan with mountains. It’s a liquid city, a tomorrow city, equal parts India, China, England, France and the Pacific Northwest. It’s the cool North American sibling.” - The New York Times

New rules for food scraps in garbage collection

Metro Vancouver is changing the way we manage our waste. 

As of January 1, 2015 food waste must be separated from other garbage. 

Already, 95% of Metro Vancouver residents living in detached homes separate food scraps from garbage using the Green Can program for curbside collection. 

Now, businesses and multi-family residential buildings must develop a plan to separate food scraps from garbage by June 30, 2015.
