Use the RDCO collection calendar or the Recycle Coach app (which can send reminders) to find your day. No organics (food scraps) collection is mentioned on the official pages.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Standard carts are a 120 L garbage cart, a 240 L recycling cart plus a grey and a pink box, and a 240 L yard waste cart.\n2. Put carts out by 7 a.m. on collection day. The bylaw says they must be accessible from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on that day only.\n3. Face the wheels away from the road, within 1 m of the lane or boulevard edge. The bylaw says 0.5 m between carts; the RDCO says allow 1 m.\n4. In winter, do not put carts out the night before.\n5. To change a cart, fill in the Cart Change-Out Request Form and send it to finance@peachland.ca or Municipal Hall. For damaged or missing carts call E360S at 250-868-3211.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Limit: one 120 L or 240 L garbage cart per week, with the lid closed. Up to 2 extra bags a week with a Tag-a-Bag tag ($2.50), each bag no more than 95 L and 23 kg. The cart weight limit is 50 kg (120 L) or 100 kg (240 L).\n- Another District bylaw lists a lower Tag-a-Bag price; Bylaw 1899 and the District page say $2.50, so confirm.\n- Garbage is billed as an annual solid waste utility charge on the quarterly utility bill. The 2009 bylaw sets $196.45 a year per home, which may be out of date. Ask the District for the current rate.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.peachland.ca/services/garbage-recycling","title":"Garbage and Recycling, District of Peachland","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.rdco.com/living-here/waste-and-recycling/pick-up-schedule-and-maps/","title":"Pick-up Schedule and Maps, Regional District of Central Okanagan","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.rdco.com/living-here/waste-and-recycling/curbside-collection/","title":"Curbside Collection, Regional District of Central Okanagan","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.peachland.ca/media/file/bylaw-1899-solid-waste-management-regulationspdfpdf","title":"Solid Waste Management Regulation Bylaw No. 1899, 2009 (PDF), District of Peachland","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.peachland.ca/services/utilities","title":"Utilities, District of Peachland","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.peachland.ca/media/file/cart-change-out-request-form-1","title":"Cart Change-Out Request Form (PDF), District of Peachland","accessed":"2026-11-06"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-06","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 7 of 7 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/peachland/garbage-collection/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/peachland/garbage-collection.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/peachland/garbage-collection.json"}}
