## How it works

The City says residential waste disposal is not a municipal service, and the CRD's table shows no municipal yard waste collection for Langford. 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.

## Steps

1. Bring yard and garden material to the CRD Hartland Landfill Public Drop-off Depot, #1 Hartland Avenue, Victoria.
2. 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.
3. 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).

## Good to know

- Plants or growing media flagged by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for disposal are excluded.
- Soil and rocks are not mentioned in the yard-waste rules read.
