There is no curbside collection of recyclable materials on Bowen Island.

You can bring your recyclables to Bowen Island Recycling Depot (BIRD) which is operated by Bowen Waste Solutions (BWS). We contract BWS to receive, handle and transport recyclable materials to Metro Vancouver. 

Refundable containers

Refundable containers are glass or plastic soda, water, juice, wine, beer, and liquor containers that you pay a deposit on when purchasing. 

The refundable collection area is located outside the building in the parking lot for BIRD. Please follow the direction of staff on site. All refundable containers should be CLEAN and PRE-SORTED.

Please visit the updated BIRD website for information and guidelines regarding garbage, organic and recycling service.
