How it works

Valemount has no year-round curbside yard-waste collection, and compostable yard waste is not accepted in the garbage container under the Solid Waste Collection Bylaw No. 697. The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George runs the Valemount Regional Transfer Station. The Village runs a spring clean-up with curbside pickup of household waste, yard waste and scrap metal, booked with the Village Office.

Steps

1. Take yard and garden waste (leaves, grass and hedge clippings, plants, branches up to 75 mm in diameter) to the transfer station at 980 Highway 5 North.
2. The station is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hours are limited or it is closed on some holidays. Call 250-960-4400 to check.
3. For the spring clean-up, bag waste, and bag yard waste separately. Check the Village website or call 250.566.4435 for the current year's dates.

Good to know

• Yard and garden waste is free at the station. Household waste under 100 kg is also free; commercial haulers pay tipping fees.
• Not accepted as yard waste: weeds, land clearing debris and industrial wood waste. Branches over 75 mm in diameter are not listed as accepted.
• Stumps are accepted only as demolition, land clearing and construction waste ($200 per tonne, $12 minimum).
• The spring clean-up excludes hazardous materials, liquids, chemicals, fridges, electronics and demolition, land clearing or construction waste. No size or weight limits are stated. The 2026 clean-up ran May 19 to 22; no fall pickup is described.
• The Regional District's listing page shows slightly different days for the station (no Tuesday). The station's own page is used here, so confirm by phone.
