Glass Recycling

For information on multi-family glass collection, please visit the Multi-Family Collection page.

The City of New Westminster is now collecting glass packaging as part of our curbside collection program.

Your grey box accepts non-refundable glass packaging, such as jam, sauce, or pickle jars with the lids removed. 

How the Program Works

The curbside glass collection schedule is different from the existing solid waste collection schedule, as glass requires manual collection and must be collected separately. Each collection zone (A, B, C, D) will be divided into four sub-collection zones and will receive glass collection once every four weeks on their respective collection day.
