United Boulevard Recycling and Waste Centre

Outside of the seasonal collection programs for extra yard trimmings, New Westminster residents may dispose of large volumes of yard trimmings or extra food waste for free* at the United Boulevard Recycling and Waste Centre year-round.

Accepted yard materials include grass clippings, leaves, plants and plant cuttings, tree and hedge pruning’s, tree branches (max. diameter of 30 cm and length of 120 cm). Food waste must be separated from yard trimmings for drop-off as these materials are processed separately.

*Free Program Requirements:

• Residential materials only. This program is for yard trimmings and food waste from residential properties within the City of New Westminster only. To ensure free drop-off, deliver green materials in a personal vehicle and have proof of residency, such as a valid driver’s license, or current utility or property tax bill.
• Separate materials. Yard trimmings and food waste must be separated for drop-off as they are processed differently. 
• Volume/weight limits. The following limits apply:
  • 100 L of food waste per vehicle per day;
  • 1,000 kg of green waste per vehicle per day;
  • 2,000 kg of green waste per vehicle per calendar year. 

Material from businesses or commercial operations (e.g. landscaping, yard maintenance, debris removal, etc.), which will be determined by vehicle type, will not be accepted.
