There are no curbside bundle or bag rules because the City does not collect yard waste. A private hauler may take it; ask one, or use the CRD \"What Goes Where\" tool.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Bring yard and garden material to the CRD Hartland Landfill Public Drop-off Depot, #1 Hartland Avenue, Victoria.\n2. Go Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The depot is closed Sundays and holidays. Peak hours are Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to noon and Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.\n3. Pay by the tonne: material under 3 inches in diameter is $59 a tonne ($10 minimum); branches and stumps over 3 inches are $110 a tonne ($10 minimum).\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Invasive species (such as blackberry, morning glory, wild carrot and poison hemlock) must not be mixed with yard trimmings. At Hartland they are bagged and tagged and charged at $59 a tonne.\n- Plants or growing media flagged by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for disposal are excluded.\n- Soil and rocks are not mentioned in the yard-waste rules read.\n- Burning yard waste needs a permit and has strict rules; see the backyard fire answer.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.crd.ca/programs-services/garbage-recycling/collection-services-your-area","title":"Collection Services in Your Area, Capital Regional District","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.crd.ca/environment/reducing-waste/organics","title":"Organics, Capital Regional District","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.crd.ca/programs-services/garbage-recycling/hartland-landfill/rates-accepted-items","title":"Rates & Accepted Items, Capital Regional District","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.crd.ca/programs-services/garbage-recycling/hartland-landfill/public-drop-depot","title":"Public Drop-off Depot, CRD Hartland Landfill","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://langford.ca/residents/resident-resources/garbage-recycling/","title":"Garbage & Recycling, City of Langford","accessed":"2026-11-05"},{"url":"https://www.crd.ca/programs-services/garbage-recycling/hartland-landfill","title":"Hartland Landfill | Capital Regional District","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 5 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langford/yard-waste/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langford/yard-waste.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/langford/yard-waste.json"}}
