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 Recycling and Bottle Depot 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 beginning April 1, 2020. Check out Be Waste Wise for more information about sorting guidelines.

Compost Materials

Yard waste can be dropped off year-round in the District's Green Waste Bin located at Agassiz Recycling & Bottle Depot - 7689 Industrial Way, Agassiz

Acceptable material includes: leaves, grass clippings, garden and flower bed residue, brush consisting of hedge trimmings and small branches.

Kent Recycling also 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.
