Consultation has concluded

Recycle it Right introduces three key changes to Delta's residential recycling program.

The following sorting requirements are now in place:

  1. Combine newspaper with paper and cardboard in the Yellow Bag or Mixed Paper Bin
  2. Separate glass containers into the new Grey Box or Glass Bin
  3. Only place plastic and metal containers and paper cups and cartons in the Blue Box or Containers Bin - plastic bags and foam containers are no longer accepted (you can return them to local depots for recycling!)

These changes are required as the City of Delta has joined Recycle BC, the not-for-profit organization responsible for the majority of residential packaging and paper recycling in the province. Aligning with Recycle BC's program will help ensure that the material we collect can be recycled to its maximum potential and save us money.

Need a new recycling box or bag? Delta provides Blue Boxes, Grey Boxes, and Yellow Bags to residents at no charge. New boxes and bags can be picked up at your nearest facility during regular hours of operation: City Hall (4500 Clarence Taylor Cres); North Delta Recreation Centre (11415 84 Ave); South Delta Recreation Centre (1720 56 St).
