## How it works

The RDCO manages curbside yard waste and E360S collects it, under the [Solid Waste Management Regulation Bylaw 1899](<https://www.peachland.ca/media/file/bylaw-1899-solid-waste-management-regulationspdfpdf>). 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.

## Steps

1. 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.
2. Keep branches and prunings to 5 cm (2 inches) thick and under 1 m (3 ft) long.
3. Put the cart out by 7 a.m. on collection day.
4. 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.

## Good to know

- 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.
- 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.
- Backyard composting is also suggested.
