## How it works

The Village of Chase collects residential garbage and recycling Tuesday to Friday. Recycling is collected every week, and garbage and recycling are picked up on the same day. The Village does not state the garbage frequency separately, and no organics collection is described. The rules are in the [Solid Waste and Recyclables Bylaw No. 743-2010](<https://chasebc.ca/bylaws>), amended by Bylaw No. 954-2025.

## Steps

1. Find your day on the Village's Waste Collection Schedule, or email or call 250-679-3238.
2. Put carts at the curb between 5:30 and 7:00 a.m. (no later than 7:00 a.m.), at least one metre apart, wheels facing the house, lid shut completely.
3. Bring carts in by 7:00 p.m. on collection day and store them on private property.

## Good to know

- The Village's animal control page says the bylaw requires containers to be accessible for emptying between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on collection day. That differs from the 5:30 to 7:00 a.m. window on the garbage page, so confirm with the Village.
