Garbage & Recycling
The Capital Regional District's (CRD) comprehensive solid waste management system minimizes waste and maximizes resource recovery. The Environmental Resource Management Service operates the landfill, oversees solid waste planning, explores opportunities for resource recovery and identifies best practices to further reduce waste, increase recycling and mitigate climate change.
Hartland Landfill is a multi-purpose facility owned and operated by the CRD. It handles general refuse and controlled waste, offers drop-off services for recycling, organics, and household hazardous waste, and seeks the best use of waste resources through initiatives such as capturing methane and diverting kitchen scraps from the landfill.
