# Midway yard waste collection and drop-off

**Question:** Where does yard waste and brush go in Midway?

**Short answer:** In Midway, there is no curbside yard waste collection. The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) green bin does not take yard and garden waste. Take it to a landfill or staffed transfer station, where tipping fees apply, or burn dry garden refuse under the fire bylaw.

**Who handles it:** Municipal (Village of Midway, https://www.midwaybc.ca)  
**Cost:** Tipping fees apply at landfills and staffed transfer stations (the guide gives $4 for a single bag of garbage). No charge for curbside green bin collection.  
**How long:** Not applicable.  
**Where:**
- Phone: RDKB garbage and recycling questions, 1-800-355-7352
- Email: RDKB garbage and recycling questions, knowwaste@rdkb.com
- Phone: Village Office, 250-449-2222

## How it works

No curbside yard waste collection is described on the Village of Midway or RDKB pages we read. 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).

## Good to know

- **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.
- **Cost:** the guide gives a $4 tipping fee for a single bag of garbage; no yard waste charge is stated.
- **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.
- The sources read set no bundle, bag or branch size limits and do not list items that are refused.
