## How it works

The District of New Hazelton runs curbside collection. 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.

The 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.
