No District garbage bylaw or fee was found.\n\n## Recycling\n\nTake recycling to the Agassiz Recycling and Bottle Depot, or arrange curbside pickup with a private contractor. See the District's [Garbage, Recycling and Composting page](<https://www.kentbc.ca/living-here/home-and-property/garbage-recycling-and-composting/>).\n\n## Good to know\n\n- The page does not list contractors.
