Recycling is collected bi-weekly at the curb, and the Recycling page says it is set out in bags. Use the District's [2026 Garbage & Recycling Calendar](https://newhazelton.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2026-calendar.pdf) to find your collection dates. A printed copy is available at the District office. The Recycling page also links a Recycle Coach app.\n\nThe collection bylaw (Curbside Collection Bylaw No. 329, amended by No. 363) is a scanned PDF that cannot be read. So how often garbage is collected, whether organics are collected, cart rules and set-out times and locations are not stated here.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Check the calendar for your collection dates.\n2. For anything else, call the District Office at (250) 842-6571.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Fee: $275 per year for a single residential unit, per duplex unit, or per trailer court pad. The [Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 393](<https://newhazelton.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/BL-393-Fees-and-Charges-Bylaw.pdf>) says the fee may rise yearly with the Consumer Price Index.\n- There is no limit on the amount of recycling collected at the curb.
