Garbage, Recycling and Composting

The District of Kent does not offer municipal residential garbage pickup, community members must use a private waste disposal contractor.

Recycling

We encourage residents to recycle appropriate materials at the Agassiz Bottle Depot/Kent Recycling Centre or arrange a curb-side pick up program with their private waste disposal contractor.

Waste Wise

Did you know that 68% of waste sent to landfills is not garbage? We can do better!

The District has joined the Fraser Valley initiative to reach the goal of 80% waste diversion by 2020, which means all residents and businesses will be required to participate in the sorting program by the target date of next year. See our waste wise brochure for more information.

Compost Materials

Kent Recycling accepts compost and yard-waste year-round for a small fee depending on the size of the load. Accepted items are soil, grass clippings, cuttings, and branches up to 5” diameter.

Twice a year, acceptable yard waste items may be taken to the municipal gravel pit at no charge. Dates and times will be posted to the News and Notices page when they are available.
