We recycle in BC
Recycling in BC is not mandatory. However, all companies are required to recycle 100% of products consisting of dry wall, metals, cardboard, concrete, as well as all green waste, such as yard trimmings. Perhaps you’ve seen the tree chippers at work alongside the highways.

Recycling in BC may not be mandatory, but some cities are taking the lead. In the lower mainland, Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver tend to be fairly environmentally savvy cities.
Recycling in BC is promoted at elementary schools and high schools. BC kids are growing up with a greater understanding of the need to recycle products. As a result, adults are being held responsible for their environmental practices by their children.
Recycle campaigns have created slogans like “Reduce, reuse, recycle” to get the message out to kids. We need to introduce a similar slogan for consumption.
BC’s recycling programs make BC one of the greenest places on earth. No wonder it’s considered one of the best places to live around the world.
