GARBAGE

Message from Mayor George V. Harvie and Delta City Council Delta is a wonderful community full of people who want to make this an even better place to live by improving the environment. Delta’s curbside collection programs help us recycle and compost much of the waste we produce, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and combats climate change. Please join me in doing your part to reduce waste and conserve resources, as we work towards a brighter and cleaner future for Delta.
