# Enderby garbage collection: schedule, carts and limits

**Question:** When is garbage collected, and what are the rules for carts, limits, and extra bags?

**Short answer:** The City of Enderby collects garbage curbside every Tuesday. Residents may set out two containers a week, each 22.7 kg (50 lb) or less, between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. Extra containers need a $3 City sticker. The City's bylaw and pages mention no carts; owners supply their own containers.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (City of Enderby, https://www.cityofenderby.com)  
**Cost:** $116.25 per residential premise per year, billed over the year's billing periods. Extra container sticker $3. Charges unpaid after December 31 are treated as taxes in arrears; a 3% penalty applies to an overdue balance.

## How it works

In the City of Enderby, garbage is collected curbside every Tuesday for the whole City, under the [Garbage Collection Regulation Bylaw No. 1566](https://www.cityofenderby.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/1566-Garbage-Collection-Regulation-Bylaw-No.-1566-Consolidated.pdf). 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.
