Garbage & Curbside Collection Cancelled Due to Flooding
Due to significant flooding and multiple road closures, garbage and compost collection is cancelled today in the Orange collection zone for all properties east of Highway 11 (Sumas Way). Crews will return to collect materials as soon as the water recedes and roads are safe to travel.
Curbside collection is undertaken by the City of Abbotsford using a fully automated cart-based collection system for single family homes and duplexes across the City.
Food and yard waste is combined and collected in a green cart. Recycling is placed unbagged in a blue cart. Garbage is place bagged or unbagged in a grey cart. The green compost cart is collected weekly, and the blue recycling cart and grey garbage cart are collected every second week on alternating weeks.
