Under the [Garbage Collection and Regulation Bylaw No. 2024-002](<https://lillooet.civicweb.net/document/96234/>), garden refuse counts as rubbish, which may not be put in the garbage receptacle. Owners arrange their own disposal. The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) runs the Lillooet Landfill & Recycling Centre.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Take your garden waste to the Lillooet Landfill & Recycling Centre, 405 Landfill Road.\n2. Open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Phone (250) 256-4099.\n3. Pay any tipping fee at the site. See the [SLRD tipping fee schedule](<https://www.slrd.bc.ca/media/file/llf-tipping-fees-2026>).\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Garden waste (grass, weeds, flower clippings) is free. Chipped wood waste is free. Unchipped wood waste such as branches and stumps is $4 minimum or $40 per tonne. These fees took effect August 1, 2026.\n- The SLRD page says a tipping fee applies to yard waste that requires chipping.\n- The landfill is closed on statutory holidays. If it is closed on a Monday for a statutory holiday, it opens Tuesday.\n- No size, weight or bundle rules for yard waste were found on the pages we read. No list of yard materials the landfill refuses was found either. Call the landfill to check.\n- Burning yard waste needs a burning permit. See the backyard fire answer.","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://www.slrd.bc.ca/services/recycling-composting-waste-landfill/recycling-waste-centres/lillooet-and-area-facilities","title":"Lillooet and Area Facilities, Squamish-Lillooet Regional District","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.slrd.bc.ca/media/file/llf-tipping-fees-2026","title":"Lillooet Landfill tipping fees 2026, Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.lillooet.ca/recycling-garbage","title":"Recycling and Garbage, 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 4 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 2 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lillooet/yard-waste/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lillooet/yard-waste.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/lillooet/yard-waste.json"}}
