Waste Collection by Property Type in Langley Township
Property type matters in Langley Township because not every home receives the same municipal garbage, Green Cart and recycling service. Rural addresses and some strata complexes can be different from serviced single-family homes.
Use garbage, Green Cart and recycling schedule
Properties with municipal garbage collection typically use two carts: one garbage cart with a grey lid and one Green Cart for organic material. Recycling uses the blue box and bag system.
- Enter your exact address in the calendar.
- Confirm Calendar A or Calendar B.
- Put garbage out only on garbage weeks.
- Put Green Cart and recycling out weekly.
Check service and site instructions
Some strata complexes may not receive the same municipal garbage and organics collection. If your calendar only shows recycling, your property may not receive municipal garbage and Green Cart service.
- Ask strata or property management where bins go.
- Confirm if the Township calendar shows all streams.
- Do not block internal roads or fire lanes.
- Ask who books large item pickup.
Recycling may be the only municipal pickup
Some rural properties receive recycling collection but not municipal garbage and organics. If you live outside the garbage collection area, use Metro Vancouver Recycling and Waste Centres or hire a private hauler for garbage and organics.
- Check the address calendar carefully.
- Do not assume garbage and Green Cart are included.
- Use depots or a private hauler if required.
- Use the Township contact path if your calendar looks wrong.
If your address calendar only shows recycling, do not guess your garbage day. The Township says that likely means your home only receives recycling collection service, especially in rural areas or some strata complexes.
Langley Township Collection Cycle: Garbage Cart, Green Cart and Recycling
Langley Township’s pickup system is easiest when you separate weekly streams from every-other-week garbage. The address calendar tells you the exact week.
⚫ Garbage Cart
Garbage carts are collected every other week. Households that occasionally produce extra garbage can use Extra Garbage stickers for each 80L can or bag set beside the Township cart.
Households that regularly produce more garbage can request a larger or additional garbage cart through the Township, with applicable annual fees and administration fees.
🟢 Green Cart
Green Cart is collected weekly. It is for food scraps, yard trimmings and soiled paper products. Food scraps can be loose, wrapped in newspaper or placed in paper bags designed for food waste.
Compostable and biodegradable plastic items do not belong in the Green Cart because they do not break down fully at composting facilities.
🔵 Recycling
Recycling is collected weekly. The Township provides blue boxes, grey boxes and yellow bags, and residents can set out unlimited amounts of residential recycling when sorted into the appropriate Township-provided containers.
Clear or translucent blue bags for extra recyclables are not accepted.
Langley Township Set-Out Rules: What to Do the Night Before Pickup

Extra Garbage and Extra Recycling in Langley Township

$3.50 sticker per bag or 80L can

Unlimited if sorted correctly
There is no limit to the amount of residential recycling you can set out when it is sorted into Township-provided blue boxes, grey boxes and yellow bags.
No clear or translucent blue bags
Clear or translucent blue bags containing recyclables are not accepted for collection. Use the correct box or bag system.

Missed Garbage, Green Cart or Recycling Pickup in Langley Township
If collection is missed, first check whether it was the correct stream, correct week, correct zone and correct set-out time. Some “misses” are actually non-collection days, wrong-stream weeks, late set-outs, blocked carts or rural/recycling-only service situations.
Self-check first
- Was it your actual collection day?
- Are you Calendar A or Calendar B?
- Was garbage scheduled this week, or only Green Cart and recycling?
- Was everything curbside by 7:30 a.m.?
- Was the cart accessible and not blocked?
- Does your address receive municipal garbage and organics, or only recycling?
- Was there a statutory holiday no-collection shift?
Use the Township contact route
If your calendar shows the correct pickup and your material was set out properly, use the Township’s garbage, recycling and Green Cart service pages or contact the listed service line. For recycling containers or recycling service issues, Sierra Waste Services and Township contact information may apply depending on the issue.

Langley Township Drop-Off, Rural Service, Hazardous Waste and Special Items
Not every property receives municipal garbage and organics service, and not every item belongs at the curb. Rural properties may need Metro Vancouver Recycling and Waste Centres or private haulers for garbage and organics. Hazardous and special items need official drop-off routes.
Garbage and organics may require private service
If you live outside the garbage collection area, the Township encourages disposal at the nearest Metro Vancouver Recycling and Waste Centre or using a private hauler for garbage and organics.
Open private collection guidanceMetro Vancouver drop-off may apply
Residents who do not receive Township Green Cart collection or private organics service can drop food scraps at a Metro Vancouver Recycling and Waste Centre, with the current fee and volume rules shown by the official site.

Green Cart Rules: Food Scraps, Yard Trimmings and Soiled Paper
The Green Cart is for food scraps, yard trimmings and soiled paper products. The Township recommends simple food scrap handling: collect scraps in a kitchen container, empty them into your Green Cart, then place the Green Cart at the curb by 7:30 a.m. on collection day.
Food scraps and yard trimmings
Use the Green Cart for organic material such as food scraps, yard trimmings and soiled paper products.
Compostable plastic is still a problem
Compostable, biodegradable and plant-based plastic items should not go in the Green Cart. Use newspaper, paper bags or loose food scraps instead.
Set it out every week
The Township suggests placing the Green Cart out every week for collection, even if it is not full, to reduce smell and pest problems.
Winter, Snow, Wind, Wildlife and Rural Access Issues
Langley Township collection can be affected by snow, ice, blocked roads, rural access and unsafe conditions. In winter, recycling crews may return if conditions improve later in the week, and residents should follow Township winter impact guidance.
Keep a clear collection spot
Do not hide carts behind snowbanks or place recycling where crews cannot reach it safely.
Leave recycling out if instructed
During winter impacts, the Township says to leave recycling at the curb until the end of the week because crews may return if conditions improve.
Avoid very early set-out
Setting receptacles out too early increases the risk of damage, theft, litter, weather problems and animal activity.
