The Truer Bluer Collection System will compliment

the City’s current automated collection by providing

a more efficient method of collecting recyclables and

allowing residents to place all recyclable materials into

one convenient cart. It will replace the existing blue

box and bags program.

Please begin using your Truer Bluer Recycling Cart January 2012

Automated Collection Carts

On average, a single-family household in New Westminster puts out about 10 kilograms of garbage for collection each week. That’s about the same as 2 regular sized garbage bags. Based on this, most houses will only require one 120-litre cart for their garbage.

Taking into account the cleaner greener and recycling collection services, residents can recycle more than ever before!

Properties with a registered suite will automatically receive a 240-litre container for garbage.

For the Cleaner Greener yard and food scraps cart, the City opted to provide one 240-litre cart to each household. The increased volume allows for more available space for your compostable materials.
