Cart Program

Note on Yard Waste: You’re able to get an additional 240L cart or additional 360L cart for $76.40/year. Also visit our Yard Waste page for details about our Seasonal Unlimited Yard Waste weeks, where residents can place any paper bags or containers clearly labelled “yard waste only.”

Sometimes we don't put out as much at the curb, for a variety of reasons. If you have a small yard or no yard, you can arrange for a smaller cart or opt-out of the yard waste cart service.

If you are unsure about your cart needs, we recommend that you view the carts at the City Yards (616 Okanagan Avenue East).

Please note, if you are renting your home, please contact your landlord to request changes, as all charges will be added to the annual tax account.

We understand that some people might be nervous about their ability to move the wheeled carts. The carts are designed with ergonomics and safety in mind.

However, if you have accessibility needs, please review the Disability Exemption Criteria and fill out the Cart Exemption Application. If you still have questions, please contact us and we would be happy to discuss options available to you.
