Yard waste collection will resume the week of February 28 to March 4, 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 7:00am 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 28 – April 1 and April 25 – 29, 2022.
