Contact Public Works at 250-837-2001 and let us know your location. 

Each residential dwelling is allowed one standard container per week. A standard container means a non-corrosive, durable garbage can, not exceeding 77 litres in size, and a plastic garbage bag not greater than 60 cm x 90 cm with sufficient strength to resist ripping or tearing. 

You may purchase a 'Tag a Bag' sticker at City Hall for $3 for garbage beyond the allowable limit. Garbage cans or bags that have the garbage sticker attached will be picked up. 

City garbage collectors will continue to pick up commercial garbage with tag a bag stickers IF the business is located in the downtown core.  The downtown core has been defined in Garbage Collection and Disposal Bylaw No 2080 to be from Victoria Road to Third Street and from Connaught Avenue to Orton Avenue.  If you are a business outside of this area, you are required to find another means to have your waste transported to the landfill.
