Victoria, BC mandates wood recovery at residential demolition projects with new bylaw

Victoria, BC Wood Recovery Residential Demolition Bylaw

In Progress

The bylaw establishes landfill diversion targets for wooden materials at demolition sites. The initial phase requires compliance by projects replacing pre-1960 homes with single-family homes. Demolition projects clearing pre-1960 homes for single-family and multi-family properties are subject to the bylaw starting in May 2025. Each permit approved from September 2023 includes a fee that is fully refunded once material recovery targets are hit.
