Leaves and grass, woody branches, soil and mixed rubbish can be handled differently even when they all come from the same garden cleanup. The Village collects garden waste twice a year on dates advertised annually.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Check the accepted materials in [Facility Operating Hours](https://www.rdck.ca/environmental-services/resourcerecovery/rrfacilities/). Make a list of what you have, including the approximate size of branches and whether the material is bagged. Check the accepted materials for the cart, collection event or drop-off site you plan to use.\n2. Read the preparation instructions before tying bundles or loading a vehicle. Confirm site hours and any charge for your kind of load before making a trip.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Tie branches in bundles up to 4 ft long and 50 lb. Use non-black bags up to 50 lb for leaves and other garden waste.\n- Rosebery Transfer Station, 5250 Highway 6, Wednesday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., except statutory holidays.\n- Free for yard and garden waste at Rosebery in May and October. Volume-based fees apply the rest of the year.\n- If the load includes a material outside the published list, describe it to the operator before mixing it with accepted yard waste.\n- For a question about the material, branch size and whether the load is loose or bagged, call the Village Office at 250-358-2316.\n- Read the applicable provisions in [Solid Waste Management Bylaw No. 763, 2025 (PDF)](https://newdenver.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Solid-Waste-Management-Bylaw-Consolidated-May-2026.pdf).","sources":[{"url":"https://www.rdck.ca/environmental-services/resourcerecovery/rrfacilities/","title":"Facility Operating Hours","accessed":"2026-11-09"},{"url":"https://newdenver.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Solid-Waste-Management-Bylaw-Consolidated-May-2026.pdf","title":"Solid Waste Management Bylaw No. 763, 2025 (PDF)","accessed":"2026-11-09"},{"url":"https://newdenver.ca/village-business/contact/","title":"New Denver municipal office contact information","accessed":"2026-11-09"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-09","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/new-denver/yard-waste/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/new-denver/yard-waste.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/new-denver/yard-waste.json"}}
