Curbside Recycling

The Capital Regional District (CRD) curbside blue box program supplies recycling collection services to over 135,000 single-family homes in the region. There is no need to register, and getting started is easy:

  • have your recyclables at the curb by 7:30am on your collection day, and
  • use at least one CRD blue box or blue bag to let the driver know your materials are intended for recycling collection.

For missed pick-ups or collection inquiries please contact GFL Environmental at 236.470.0186 or email blueboxvictoria@gflenv.com

Items accepted

To meet Recycle BC processing and quality standards, and ensure that packaging and paper materials placed out by residents get to recycling markets, items are collected in three separate material streams:

  1. Paper, boxboard and cardboard
  2. Metal, plastic and paper containers
  3. Glass bottles and jars

This ensures that materials such as glass are kept separate from paper fibres and plastics so each stream can be efficiently sorted for processing into new materials.

Visit the Recycle BC website for complete list of items accepted and resource posters.
