Each month, many property owners, including the City, are faced with the high cost and burden of properly disposing of items that have been illegally dumped on unsuspecting property owners or on City property.
If you are unsure of how to dispose of unwanted items such as old furniture, electronic devices and other household items, call Engineering and Municipal Operations at (604) 541-2181 and they can offer several ideas for proper disposal.
If you observe someone illegally dumping on City or private property, obtain as much information as possible, such as a description and licence number of the vehicle involved, and call the Bylaw Department at (604) 541-2148.
