New curbside recycling services in Red Bluff and Lhtako Dene Nation to begin in October

Residents in the Red Bluff and the Lhtako Dene Nation will only have to put their recycling at their curbs starting in October.

Curbside collection will begin on October 7, and RecycleBC will be providing residents with three new reusable bins, two blue and one grey, to set out at residents’ curbs. The bins will be delivered on the weekend of September 20 and 21, and will come with a 2025-2026 recycling guide sheet.

There will be three separate material categories that residents will sort their recycling. The Blue Bins will have paper and containers, and the Grey Bin will be glass.

Curbside collection will take place every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, depending on the resident’s service area. The recycling guide provided by Recycle BC will have the information on which areas will be serviced on which days.

Materials that will not be accepted in the curbside bins are flexible plastics (plastic bags, chip bags, and bubble wrap), and foam packaging (the rigged foam packaging for electronices and appliances). Residents will need to continue to drop these types of items off at the Quesnel Recycling Centre, on Carson Road.

More information on accepted materials, and to find the schedule for the Red Bluff and Lhtako Dene Nation curbside collection can be found on RecycleBC’s website, and the CRD’s website.
