The yard waste cart is emptied every second week, March 1 to December 31 according to the District and RDCO pages. The 2009 bylaw says March to the end of November, so check the collection calendar.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Put yard waste loose in the 240 L cart with the lid closed. No plastic bags or other containers, and no bundling with string, ties or tape.\n2. Keep branches and prunings to 5 cm (2 inches) thick and under 1 m (3 ft) long.\n3. Put the cart out by 7 a.m. on collection day.\n4. For extra yard waste, go to the Asquith Road Transfer Station, 2640 Asquith Road, West Kelowna (Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; gate closes 3:50 p.m.), or Glenmore Landfill, John Hindle Drive, Kelowna (daily, 7:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.). Peachland has no landfill.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Not accepted in the cart: bags of any kind, dirt, sod, rocks, tree stumps, kitchen or food waste, garbage, animal feces or cat litter, construction materials, landscape fabric, and large amounts of bark mulch.\n- The District's garbage page gives the same West Kelowna site with different hours and a different street number than its yard waste page. Confirm with the RDCO at 250-469-6250.\n- Backyard composting is also suggested.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.peachland.ca/services/garbage-recycling/yard-waste","title":"Yard Waste, District of Peachland","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.rdco.com/living-here/waste-and-recycling/yard-waste/","title":"Yard Waste, Regional District of Central Okanagan","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.rdco.com/living-here/waste-and-recycling/disposal-locations/asquith-road-transfer-station/","title":"Asquith Road Transfer Station, Regional District of Central Okanagan","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.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/media/file/cart-change-out-request-form-1","title":"Cart Change-Out Request Form (PDF), District of Peachland","accessed":"2026-11-06"},{"url":"https://www.peachland.ca/services/garbage-recycling","title":"Garbage and Recycling, 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 6 of 6 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/peachland/yard-waste/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/peachland/yard-waste.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/peachland/yard-waste.json"}}
