For Homeowners and Fraser Valley Residents:
- Keep your invasive plant materials separate from your normal yard waste. Plant parts, such as rhizomes/roots, seedheads and flowers can continue to grow and produce new plants!
- Reminder to never compost invasive plants! - Residential compostors do not reach temperatures high enough to destroy seeds and or rhizomes.
- If you have a large quantity, please call the facility before bringing your materials to confirm procedures.
