Illegal dumping

Illegal dumping and littering looks ugly, is expensive to clean up and poses health and environmental risks. Illegal dumping is any waste—large appliances, couches, trash and other banned/illegal products—intentionally dumped on public or private property.

To report illegal dumping, call the Solid Waste and Recycling Division at 604-294-7972 or download the collection app to report a problem.
