Port Hardy is at the northern end of Highway 19 on northern Vancouver Island, and is the largest of the four incorporated communities in the Regional District of Mount Waddington. The District of Port Hardy runs building inspection and permits, business licences, bylaw enforcement, its own animal control shelter, public works, parks and recreation, and the Port Hardy Fire Department. Residential garbage and recycling pickup is provided by the District through its contractor, Fox's Disposal Ltd. The 7-Mile Regional Landfill & Recycling Facility on Highway 19 is listed on the District's garbage page as the regional landfill. Policing is by the Port Hardy RCMP Detachment, which is provincially funded. Marriage licences, health cards and driver's licences are provincial matters, not handled by the District.
