Curbside Recycling, Compostables and Garbage Collection

COVID-19 Curbside Update

If you would like information about why you may have received a COVID-19 information sticker on your curbside materials, please call Emterra at 604.795.7795 or email curbside@chilliwack.com.

To help stop the spread of COVID-19 and to protect our waste collection workers the following changes have been made to the Curbside program: 

Garbage
Please bag all garbage in securely tied plastic bags. Do not place un-bagged waste loose in your garbage containers. If you or someone in your household is sick, all personal waste (tissues, gloves, masks, etc.) should be double bagged in securely tied plastic bags.

Green Cart
Be reminded that plastic bags or liners, even biodegradable ones, are not to be used in the Green Cart. The following items are temporarily NOT accepted in your Green Cart and should be placed in the garbage in securely tied plastic bags: Paper towels, paper napkins, facial tissues

Recycling
There are currently no changes to sorting requirements for Curbside recycling. Do not use bags for mixed recycling or include personal waste (tissues, paper towel, etc. have never been accepted in recycling and must be disposed of as garbage)

Reminder: Don’t flush unflushables! Disinfectant wipes, baby wipes and paper towels should be bagged, in securely tied plastic bags, and disposed of with regular garbage.
