## How it works

No curbside yard waste collection is described by the District. 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.

## Steps

1. Take your garden waste to the Lillooet Landfill & Recycling Centre, 405 Landfill Road.
2. Open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Phone (250) 256-4099.
3. Pay any tipping fee at the site. See the [SLRD tipping fee schedule](<https://www.slrd.bc.ca/media/file/llf-tipping-fees-2026>).
