Styrofoam
In 2018, Metro Vancouver introduced a disposal ban on expanded polystyrene, commonly known as Styrofoam. All loads being dropped off at Metro Vancouver disposal facilities containing over 20% EPS packaging will be subject to a surcharge of 100% of the tipping fee.
The ban includes white expanded Styrofoam used for protecting and distributing products. It does not include food and beverage containers, packing peanuts, and expanded polystyrene that is painted, soiled or treated.
City of Surrey does not currently offer curbside recycling services for Styrofoam. To find a drop off location near you, visit Metro Vancouver Recycles.
