Curbside collection

New Chilliwack curbside collection program goes into effect next week

Apr 23, 2026 | 11:19 AM

CHILLIWACK – The City of Chilliwack is reminding residents about the rollout of its new curbside collection program starting next week.

In a social media post, the city says Friday, May 1, is the first day that residents of Chilliwack can begin using the new bins, based on your collection day.

Residents who no longer want their old collection containers will be able to place them at the curb for pickup on the next business day after your regular collection day throughout the month of May.

For example, residents whose curbside materials get collected on a Friday can leave their unwanted collection containers on the following Monday.

As a friendly reminder, empty containers must be placed at the curb by 7 a.m.

The city also says regular collection days are not changing. This is only for pickup of the unwanted collection containers.

The city’s new curbside collection contractor is Environmental 360 Solutions (E360S). E360S is the same company tasked with operating the Bailey Sanitary Landfill since 2021 and the annual Household Hazardous Waste Day Event since 2024. E360S provides waste management services for many municipalities across Canada.

Residents will keep their existing green cart, unless an exchange is requested or required (e.g., homes in wildlife issue areas).

Garbage will be collected bi-weekly (once every two weeks), alternating with recycling. Residents will be provided with a black garbage cart.

As part of the new program, recycling will be collected bi-weekly (once every two weeks), alternating with garbage. Residents will be provided with a blue recycling cart. Because large carts (up to 360L) are available, all recyclable materials will need to be placed inside of the recycling cart. Residents should break down or cut up cardboard boxes to place inside the blue cart.

Glass will be collected manually once per month, at the same time as flexible plastics. Residents will continue to use their 27L grey bins.

One of the features of the city’s new curbside program involves flexible plastics being collected manually once per month, at the same time as glass. Residents will be provided with a 57L pink bin and lid.
