Glass Recycling
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 that are rinsed and have the lids removed (lids can be placed in your blue recycling cart).
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) is divided into four sub-collection zones and receives glass collection once every four weeks on their respective collection day.
