 The "Yaletown goes Dumpster-Free" project is moving forward!
New BIA's are signing on to this initiative and our partnership now includes DVBIA,
WestEnd/Davie Village, South Granville, Gastown and Robson St. We expect dumpsters to begin disappearing from our streets early in 2008. Visit our website for the most up to date information. And please send us your thoughts so we can forward them to City Council letting them know that you want to go dumpster-free! Phone us at 604.683.7473 or email us today.
No dumpsters = clean streets + more parking
