Residential means houses, duplexes and multi-family buildings of up to three dwelling units. Commercial properties are not served. The District page describes drop-off recycling locations and does not describe curbside recycling or organics collection.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Find your collection day: open the District's map viewer on the [Recycling and Garbage page](<https://www.lillooet.ca/recycling-garbage>), turn on the \"Garbage Collection\" layer, and find your property. Or call 250-256-4289 or email info@lillooet.ca.\n2. Put garbage in bags secured inside your own receptacle.\n3. Place it in full view beside the travelled road in front of your property no earlier than 6:00 a.m. and no later than 8:00 a.m. on collection day.\n4. The bylaw does not say when to bring receptacles in.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Residents supply and keep their own wildlife-resistant receptacle (fully enclosed, waterproof, with a lid and latch), recommended no larger than 76 cm by 50 cm, and replace it if damaged. The District does not issue carts under this bylaw.\n- Limit: one or two receptacles, each no more than 20 kg filled. Rubbish, recyclables, construction waste and oversize items are not collected.\n- Extra receptacle: annual Garbage Collection Sticker, $188 (prorated for the rest of the year). Extra bag: single-use Garbage Collection Tag, $4.\n- Fees ([Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 2021-003](<https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/102362/>), Schedule 13): the 2026 rate is $283 for basic service, per dwelling unit. The bylaw says rates rise yearly with BC CPI. A 10% penalty applies to a fee unpaid after the due date on the utilities invoice.\n- Eligible single-family owners who claimed the additional homeowner grant for persons 65 and over may apply for a 10% refund of the year's levies if paid in full by the due date.","sources":[{"url":"https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/96234/","title":"Garbage Collection and Regulation Bylaw No. 2024-002 (consolidated to January 21, 2025) (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/102362/","title":"Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 2021-003 (Schedules 3 and 13) (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.lillooet.ca/recycling-garbage","title":"Recycling and Garbage, District of Lillooet","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.lillooet.ca/contact-us","title":"Contact Us, District of Lillooet","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/lillooet/garbage-collection/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lillooet/garbage-collection.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lillooet/garbage-collection.json"}}
