Abbotsford Community Services Recycling Program

Abbotsford Mission Recycling Program provides recycling services for the District of Mission and City of Abbotsford. The Recycling Program is a part of  Abbotsford Community Services and began in the early 70’s as one of the first recycling programs in the province of British Columbia. It started as a program to provide meaningful employment for the traditionally hard to employ and continues to advocate for this today.

Process :

Presently, the program processes recyclables from Abbotsford and Mission. These recyclables are placed onto a conveyor belt and hand sorted, by Abbotsford Community Services employees, into different types of materials. Once sorted, the recyclables are either baled or loaded loose into shipping containers and sent to markets for processing.
