The RDKB green bin does not take yard and garden waste. See the Village's [Utilities](https://midwaybc.ca/utilities/) page and the [Green Bin User Guide (PDF)](https://midwaybc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/GreenBinUsersGuides.pdf).\n\n## Good to know\n\n- **Drop-off:** the green bin guide says residents outside Grand Forks can take yard and garden waste to the Grand Forks or West Boundary (Greenwood) landfill or any staffed transfer station. Tipping fees apply. The Utilities page lists Greenwood Landfill hours (Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) and the Rock Creek Landfill, but does not say they accept yard waste, so confirm with the RDKB at 1-800-355-7352 or knowwaste@rdkb.com.\n- **Cost:** the guide gives a $4 tipping fee for a single bag of garbage; no yard waste charge is stated.\n- **Burning:** dry garden refuse (plant matter only) may be burned when burning is not banned, under the [Fire Services and Regulations Bylaw No. 451, 2014](https://midwaybc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Bylaw-451-2014-To-Establish-a-Fire-Department-and-to-Regulate-Fire-Protection-Suppression-and-Prevention.pdf). See the backyard fire answer.\n- The sources read set no bundle, bag or branch size limits and do not list items that are refused.","sources":[{"url":"https://midwaybc.ca/utilities/","title":"Utilities, Village of Midway","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://midwaybc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/GreenBinUsersGuides.pdf","title":"Green Bin User Guide (PDF), posted by Village of Midway","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://midwaybc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Bylaw-451-2014-To-Establish-a-Fire-Department-and-to-Regulate-Fire-Protection-Suppression-and-Prevention.pdf","title":"Fire Services and Regulations Bylaw No. 451, 2014 (PDF), Village of Midway","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 3 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 1 is recorded as not set; 2 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/midway/yard-waste/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/midway/yard-waste.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/midway/yard-waste.json"}}
