Where does yard waste and brush go in Lions Bay?

Lions Bay, British ColumbiaChecked against official textSources read 2026-11-08

How it works

Lions Bay collects yard trimmings every week with the compostables, on Fridays. Under the Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Bylaw No. 455, put them out after 5:00 a.m. on collection day in compostable kraft or plastic bags, in containers marked "Yard Trimmings", or in tied bundles. The 2026 collection calendar names kraft bags only.

Steps

1. Pack trimmings in kraft bags, marked containers or tied bundles.
2. For branches, tie bundles up to 1 m long, with branches no more than 6 cm in diameter.
3. Put them out at your front property line after 5:00 a.m. on collection day. See the Garbage Collection answer for set-out rules.
4. Or drop them off at the Public Works Yard, 5 Tidewater Way.

Good to know

• The 2026 calendar gives the drop-off as Fridays 6 to 9 and Saturdays 8 to 11. The Village's Operations page gives Saturday as 8 to 1, so confirm before you go.
• The calendar describes 100 L kraft bags (140 x 30 x 15 cm) and branches less than 10 cm in diameter. The bylaw says no more than 6 cm. The bylaw is followed here.
• No separate charge for yard trimmings was found; the annual single-family charge of $443.66 covers garbage, recycling and green waste. Compostable bags are sold at cost plus GST. Drop-off charges at the Works Yard are not stated.
• The Village does not list what is refused as yard waste. Ask Public Works before putting out stumps, soil or rocks.
• Burning yard waste is not allowed. See the Backyard Fire answer.
