The service is run for the City by Tip-It Waste Solutions. Recycling (the Recycle BC program) is collected every other Monday by Emterra Environmental; the City's Recycling Guide has the calendar. The City page lists no curbside organics collection.\n\n## Rules\n\n- Containers: the bylaw and City pages mention no carts or cart sizes. Owners supply their own garbage container, which must be non-corrosive, durable and rigid, with secure handles and a watertight cover. A container condemned by the City must be replaced by the owner.\n- Limit: two containers per residential premises per week, each at most 22.7 kg (50 lb) when full, residential garbage only.\n- Extra containers: they must carry a City \"Residential Garbage Collection\" sticker, $3 each from City Hall.\n- Set-out: put containers at the curb no earlier than 4 a.m. and ready for collection by 7 a.m., within 1 m of the travelled part of the lane, or on the boulevard within 1 m of the road. Keep lids on. The bylaw does not say when to bring containers back in.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Fee: $116.25 per residential premise per year. Unpaid charges after December 31 are treated as taxes in arrears, and a 3% penalty applies to an overdue balance.\n- Putting garbage out before 4 a.m. is a $100 bylaw notice.\n- Missed collection: call Tip-It at 250-546-2005 (garbage) or Emterra at 250-545-4245 (recycling).","sources":[{"url":"https://www.cityofenderby.com/city-hall/garbage-and-recycling/","title":"Garbage and Recycling, City of Enderby","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.cityofenderby.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/1566-Garbage-Collection-Regulation-Bylaw-No.-1566-Consolidated.pdf","title":"Garbage Collection Regulation Bylaw No. 1566, 2015 (consolidated, PDF), City of Enderby","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.cityofenderby.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/1479-Fees-and-Charges-Bylaw-No.-1479-2010-Consolidated.pdf","title":"Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1479, 2010 (consolidated, PDF), City of Enderby","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.cityofenderby.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/1581-Bylaw-Notice-Enforcement-Bylaw-Consolidated.pdf","title":"Bylaw Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 1581 (consolidated, PDF), City of Enderby","accessed":"2026-11-05"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-05","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 7 of 7 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/enderby/garbage-collection/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/enderby/garbage-collection.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/enderby/garbage-collection.json"}}
