Garbage Disposal and Recycling
With the introduction of Metro Vancouver's Zero Waste Challenge in 2008, we are requiring all Acacia Gardens' residents to follow these new guidelines for disposing of your garbage and recyclables. Your cooperation will help us reduce our cost and penalties that the City of Burnaby charges the strata and ultimately, you, as a resident.
Guidelines In Throwing Away Your Garbage
-
To reduce the excessive amount of garbage and smell that collects during the weekend, please try to bring your garbage down during mid-week and not only during the weekend.
-
Do not leave garbage on the ground. Only garbage that completely fits inside the container is accepted.
-
Do not throw the following items into the garbage containers:
-
Cardboard, newsprint, office paper

Large appliances and large furniture
