Yard waste collection will resume the week of February March 9 - 13, for all Penticton residents with curbside waste collection. Yard waste is picked up bi-weekly in the City-issued yard waste cart on your regular day of collection. To ensure yard waste is collected, place your waste at the curb no later than 7a.m. on your regular day of collection.
When filling your City-issued yard waste cart, please keep the following in mind:
- Only plant materials are accepted, such as grass clippings, leaves, plant trimmings, branches, pine needles and cones.
- Non-organic materials are not accepted, such as plastic bags, biodegradable plastics, garden hoses, soil bags, plant pots, etc.
- No dog waste or dog waste bags.
- Please do not compact the materials into the cart as it may not empty when tipped.
- Put all yard waste loosely into the cart and ensure the lid remains closed.
Spring unlimited yard waste collection dates are March 23 – 27, and April 20 - 24, 2026. Also note that large item collection is occurring on the week of April 13 – 17, 2026.
