Under [Garbage Collection, Disposal and Rates By-law No. 458, 1991](<https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/bf7007c2-9476-4485-8364-d7ab1d6e599d/downloads/458%20Garbage%20Collection.doc?ver=1793894507766>), each dwelling is collected once a week, or at times Council sets by resolution. The Village's website does not give collection days. The page mentions no recycling or organics collection.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Residents provide their own garbage receptacle. The 1991 bylaw describes a galvanized iron or plastic one with a watertight cover and a capacity of 5 cubic feet.\n- Receptacles must be accessible between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on collection days, kept at ground level and readily accessible from the street, lane, side or rear entrance.\n- The bylaw has been amended many times, and the amended text could not be read, so these rules may be out of date. Current rates and any bag limit are not stated on the Village's website.\n- Watch the Village's alerts for pickup changes around holidays.\n- Questions: Public Works or the Village Office, 250-457-6237.","sources":[{"url":"https://cachecreek.ca/utilities","title":"Utilities, Village of Cache Creek","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://cachecreek.ca/public-works","title":"Public Works, Village of Cache Creek","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/bf7007c2-9476-4485-8364-d7ab1d6e599d/downloads/458%20Garbage%20Collection.doc?ver=1793894507766","title":"Garbage Collection, Disposal and Rates By-law No. 458, 1991 (Word document), Village of Cache Creek","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/bf7007c2-9476-4485-8364-d7ab1d6e599d/downloads/BYLAWS%20LIST.pdf?ver=1793894508052","title":"Village of Cache Creek Bylaws List (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 4 of 7 facts was matched to the official text; 3 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/cache-creek/garbage-collection/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/cache-creek/garbage-collection.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/cache-creek/garbage-collection.json"}}
