Garbage collection is not offered by the municipality or the CRD. Residents can contract a company or drop off at nearby locations (map below).
What goes in the garbage?
Nearly two-thirds of household waste does not belong in the landfill and goes in organics, recycling and hazardous waste. Some items do go in the landfill, including adhesives (like tape), contaminated items (like diapers, wet wipes and animal waste) and plastic tubes (like toothpaste and cosmetic squeeze tubes).
