Yard Waste

Yard Waste Options:

The Central Okanagan is a gorgeous place to live and our numerous Communities in Bloom awards are proof of that.

We play a big part in creating this lovely picture by having front and back yards with beautiful gardens and trees.

But what do you do with the stuff that dies off or overgrows? How can you get rid of your yard waste in an environmentally friendly way?

Fortunately we have easy options to dispose of our yard waste; from the bi-weekly curbside automated cart pickup between March and November (Information is available in the Living Greener Calendar), backyard composting or the free drop off (up to a maximum 250 Kilograms) at local landfills...anytime of the year.

Additional Yard Waste Cart Options Available:
