Multi-Family & Commercial Services
Waste management for apartments, condos, and businesses
Important Notice
The City of Abbotsford's curbside collection service does NOT cover multi-family residences (apartments, condos, townhouses) or commercial properties. These properties must arrange private waste collection services.
Multi-Family Residents
If you live in an apartment, condo, or townhouse complex, your building's property manager or strata is responsible for arranging waste collection through a licensed private hauler.
What You Can Do:
- Use your building's recycling and composting bins properly
- Take recyclables to drop-off depots if your building doesn't collect them
- Encourage your strata/manager to improve recycling programs
- Use EPR depot programs for electronics, batteries, paint, etc.
Property Managers & Businesses
All multi-family buildings and commercial properties must provide waste separation services for garbage, recycling, and organics as required by local bylaws.
Requirements:
- Mandatory source separation for recyclables and compostables
- Contract with licensed private waste hauler
- Provide separate bins for all three streams
- Post clear signage showing what goes where
