Collection is on weekdays only, not Saturdays, Sundays or statutory holidays. Apartments and condos with centralized collection get weekly garbage. Properties outside the garbage collection area get recycling only. The rules are in the [Solid Waste Management Bylaw 2016 No. 5200](<https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Popular-Bylaws/Solid-Waste-Management-Bylaw-2016-(No.-5200).pdf>); fees are in the [Utility Rate Bylaw No. 6107](<https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Other-Bylaws/Utility-Rate-Bylaw-(No.-6107).pdf>). The Township of Langley is a separate municipality from the City of Langley.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Enter your address in the online collection calendar at tol.ca/calendar to see your days. A printable calendar and email, phone or app reminders are also available.\n2. Set carts out no earlier than 8 p.m. the day before and no later than 7:30 a.m. on collection day, within 1 metre of the curb or edge of pavement (or at the lane line).\n3. Bring carts in, emptied or not, before the end of collection day.\n4. For extra garbage, buy Extra Garbage stickers and put the bag or 80 L can out on a garbage day.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The standard single-family carts are a 240 L garbage cart and a 240 L Green Cart. Options: 120 L garbage; 80 L or 120 L Green Cart. Only the property owner may ask to exchange.\n- Lids must close fully. Weight limits: 50.8 kg (120 L) and 101.6 kg (240 L). Single items must be no larger than 2.5 m long or 1.2 m wide.\n- Recycling is unlimited if sorted.\n- The page says setting out the evening before is \"not recommended\"; ask the Township whether the bylaw makes the times a rule.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/garbage-recycling-and-green-cart.aspx","title":"Garbage, Recycling and Green Cart, Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/garbage-cart.aspx","title":"Garbage Cart, Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/green-cart.aspx","title":"Green Cart, Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/garbage-recycling-and-green-cart/2026-Collection-Map-and-Calendars.pdf","title":"2026 Collection Map and Calendars (PDF), Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Popular-Bylaws/Solid-Waste-Management-Bylaw-2016-(No.-5200).pdf","title":"Solid Waste Management Bylaw 2016 No. 5200 (PDF), Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/utility-rates.aspx","title":"Utility Rates, Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Other-Bylaws/Utility-Rate-Bylaw-(No.-6107).pdf","title":"Utility Rate Bylaw No. 6107 (PDF), Township of Langley","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Other-Bylaws/Bylaw-Notice-Enforcement-Bylaw-2008-(No.-4703).pdf","title":"https://www.tol.ca/en/services/resources/bylaw-services/bylaws/Other-Bylaws/Bylaw-Notice-Enforcement-Bylaw-2008-(No.-4703).pdf","accessed":"2026-11-06"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-06","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 7 of 7 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langley-township/garbage-collection/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langley-township/garbage-collection.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langley-township/garbage-collection.json"}}
