Organics (food scraps and green waste) are collected weekly. Domestic waste is collected bi-weekly, on Thursdays. Recyclables are collected bi-weekly. Glass goes in a separate container. The Village publishes a yearly [Curbside Collection Schedule and Guide](<https://www.harrisonhotsprings.ca/sites/default/files/2025-12/2026-Curbside-Collection-Schedule.pdf>) showing the bi-weekly pattern. The rules are in the [Waste Collection and Disposal Bylaw No. 1172](<https://www.harrisonhotsprings.ca/sites/default/files/2025-04/Waste-Collection-and-Disposal-Bylaw-No.-1172-%28Consolidated-April-2025%29.pdf>).\n\nContainers are up to 121 litres and no more than 25 kg when full: one 121-litre container for organics and green waste (plus paper yard-waste bags), one for domestic waste, and as many recycling containers as needed.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Put your containers at the curb on collection day, not before 5:00 a.m. and no later than 7:00 a.m. (containers put out after 7:00 a.m. may not be collected). Place them in a visible spot as close as possible to the travelled road, not on a sidewalk.\n2. Take them out of sight from the frontage by 7:00 p.m.\n3. For extra household waste beyond one container, buy a $2.50 tag sticker at the Village Office and attach it.\n4. For a replacement or additional container, use the [New Bin/Bin Replacement Application Form](<https://www.harrisonhotsprings.ca/sites/default/files/2024-09/Curbside-Collection-Application-Form.pdf>). Replacement or additional organics, recycling and glass containers are sold at cost.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Limits: one container of domestic waste (25 kg maximum) per collection. Organics: one container plus up to ten paper yard-waste bags, or two containers plus up to eight bags. Recyclables and glass are unlimited if in proper containers.\n- The annual fee is $268.72 per residence for 2026, billed on the annual utility bill. \"Residence\" means a detached dwelling or duplex. A 10% penalty applies to unpaid utility charges after the due date.\n- For questions or missed pickups call GFL Environmental at 604-823-2116.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.harrisonhotsprings.ca/services/garbage-recycling","title":"Garbage & Recycling, Village of Harrison Hot Springs","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.harrisonhotsprings.ca/sites/default/files/2025-04/Waste-Collection-and-Disposal-Bylaw-No.-1172-%28Consolidated-April-2025%29.pdf","title":"Waste Collection and Disposal Bylaw No. 1172 (consolidated April 2025) (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.harrisonhotsprings.ca/services/taxes-utilities","title":"Taxes & Utilities, Village of Harrison Hot Springs","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.harrisonhotsprings.ca/sites/default/files/2025-12/2026-Curbside-Collection-Schedule.pdf","title":"2026 Curbside Collection Schedule and Guide (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.harrisonhotsprings.ca/sites/default/files/2024-09/Curbside-Collection-Application-Form.pdf","title":"Curbside Collection New Bin/Bin Replacement Application Form (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 7 of 7 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/harrison-hot-springs/garbage-collection/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/harrison-hot-springs/garbage-collection.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/harrison-hot-springs/garbage-collection.json"}}
