How it works

The Town of Port McNeill collects curbside garbage and recycling, alternating every Wednesday, under its Garbage and Recycling Bylaw No. 714. Which Wednesday is garbage and which is recycling is on the 2026 Garbage & Recycle Calendar (PDF) linked from the Town's Garbage & Recycling page.

Steps

1. Open the calendar from the Town's page.
2. For a paper copy, go to the Town Office at 1775 Furney Place or email reception@portmcneill.ca.
3. Take plastic bags and overwrap, glass containers and foam packaging to the depots, not the curb.

Good to know

• Schedules change for the holidays in December and January.
• An extra garbage tag costs $2.39 each, increasing with the consumer price index each year (Fees and Charges Bylaw).
• Garbage is paid by an annual solid waste utility fee, billed with water and sewer on one bill mailed in January. Early-payment and seniors (65+) discounts may be provided. The current dollar amount is not stated in the documents we found.
• The bylaw copy online could not be read, and the Town's page gives no cart, set-out time or weight or volume limits. Ask the Town Office at 250-956-3111. Organics collection is not mentioned.
