Under [NCRD Bylaw No. 276](https://www.ncrdbc.com/sites/default/files/uploads/bylaws/276_isw_regs_fees_charges_consolidated_v2.pdf), grass, hedge clippings and other garden refuse count as garbage, except garden refuse too long or bulky for the receptacle.\n\nYard and garden waste is accepted at the Islands (Port Clements) landfill and the Skidegate, Sandspit and Masset transfer stations.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Keep yard and garden waste organic and source separated. Shrub and tree branches must be under 75 mm across.\n2. Put small amounts in your garbage under the weekly collection rules (see the garbage collection answer).\n3. Take bulky or long material to the landfill or a transfer station. Call the NCRD at 250-557-9339 to ask about hours and charges.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- A load that is not source separated, or that has non-organic matter in it, pays double the charge.\n- No drop-off charge for yard waste was found on the pages read. Ask the NCRD.\n- The Village has not posted a burning bylaw. See the backyard fire answer.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.ncrdbc.com/sites/default/files/uploads/bylaws/276_isw_regs_fees_charges_consolidated_v2.pdf","title":"NCRD Islands Solid Waste Management Regulation, Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 276, 1995, consolidated (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.ncrdbc.com/services/waste/landfill-transfer-stations","title":"Landfill and Transfer Stations, North Coast Regional District","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 5 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/yard-waste/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/yard-waste.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/daajing-giids/yard-waste.json"}}
