Food scraps, food-soiled paper and yard waste belong in your green organics cart.
Langley City provides weekly organics collection to eligible homes. Find out what goes in your cart, what does not belong, how to prepare your cart for collection, and what to do when you have more organics or yard waste than your cart can hold.
Extra yard waste pilot program returns October 19 to November 27
Homes receiving City organics services can place additional seasonal yard waste in paper yard waste bags beside their organics cart on their regular collection day by 7:30AM. Only yard waste can go in the extra paper bags. Food scraps and other organics must go in the organics cart.
No registration or stickers are required.
How to use the cart
- Place carts at the curb by 7:30 AM weekly.
- Carts should be placed with the wheels towards your house and with the lid opening towards the street.
- Leave at least 1 metre (3 feet) of space between each cart and any obstacles such as other carts, basketball hoops, parked cars, poles, fences, or mailboxes.
- Ensure the lid is fully closed; overfilled carts may not be collected.
- Do not block sidewalks or driveways.
- Store the carts within your property boundary — in your garage, backyard, side of your home or front yard. Do not store them on the road or sidewalk.
What goes in the organics cart?
Items in your organics cart should be wrapped only in paper bags or newspaper. Plastic and compostable plastic bags are not accepted. If any plastic bags are present, your cart cannot be emptied until they are removed.
