Public Spaces

Please do your part to dispose of all waste responsibly, whether you are in a park, a municipal facility or on the sidewalk.

Illegal Dumping

It is illegal to dump or deposit any household, business, construction or garden waste in any park or public space, including any municipal receptacles.

Parks Recycling

Three-stream recycling bins provide options to recycle food scraps and containers in some of the District’s destination waterfront parks.

Recycling in Municipal Buildings

The municipal building recycling program is similar to our residential recycling program, making it easier to recycle wherever you go.

Streetside Recycling

Three-stream recycling bins provide options to recycle paper and containers on sidewalks and at bus stops.

Cigarette Butt Bins

Cigarette butt bins have been attached to some streetside recycling bins in locations that comply with the District’s Smoking Regulation Bylaw.

Visitors to some parks throughout West Vancouver will notice bright red bins for “Dog Waste Only." This is part of West Vancouver's effort to separate dog waste from regular park garbage by providing alternate disposal bins.
