Steps
- Buy orange tags at the Village Office or Kaslo Husky. Every garbage bag needs one.
- Put garbage out by 7:00 a.m. on Tuesday to guarantee collection, but not before 5:00 a.m. The bylaw says before 7:00 a.m., and not more than 2 hours earlier.
- Place it near the lane or street edge, not on a sidewalk.
- If the contractor misses you, call the Village Office by 2:00 p.m.
Good to know
- No carts are described. Use orange-tagged bags, or a container with a tight, animal-proof lid holding up to 17.5 gallons. The bylaw also allows plastic bags only if kept in an animal-proof structure.
- Tag price: the Village page and the Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1300 say it equals the RDCK fee for one container of mixed waste, $4.75 in the Central Subregion. The older Bylaw 1119 says $2.50 per tag with a minimum purchase of 10, so confirm the price when you buy.
- Not collected: items over 10 kg or 1.8 m, and limbs over 50 mm.
