Bagged household garbage goes in community dumpsters around the village, open 24/7. The dumpsters are picked up twice weekly and taken to the landfill. The Village's website does not say where the dumpsters are.\n\n## Steps\n1. Bag your household garbage.\n2. Take it to a community dumpster; there is no set-out day.\n3. Take recycling to the recycling depot, open Monday to Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (closed Sunday).\n\n## Good to know\n- The annual solid waste utility charge for a single family dwelling is $85 ($7.10 monthly), with a 25% seniors discount if paid by the due date. It is billed once a year with the property tax due date. These rates come from an undated utility billing page.\n- The Village's website does not state any limit on garbage amounts. The rules are in [Bylaw 521, 2018 Solid Waste Rates and Regulations](https://www.zeballos.com/Zeballos2016/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Bylaw-521-2018-Solid-Waste-Rates-and-Regulations.pdf), which is a scanned PDF whose text could not be read.\n- Landfill tipping fees are separate; see the yard waste answer.\n- No organics collection is mentioned on the pages we read.\n- Ask the Village Office, 250-761-4229, about dumpster locations.","sources":[{"url":"https://www.zeballos.com/home/municipal-services/waste-management/","title":"Solid Waste Management, Village of Zeballos","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.zeballos.com/home/municipal-services/facilities-list/","title":"Community Facilities (Recycling Depot), Village of Zeballos","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.zeballos.com/home/municipal-services/utility-billing/","title":"Utility Billing, Village of Zeballos","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.zeballos.com/Zeballos2016/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Bylaw-521-2018-Solid-Waste-Rates-and-Regulations.pdf","title":"Solid Waste Rates and Regulations Bylaw 521, 2018 (scanned PDF, text not readable)","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://www.zeballos.com/contact-us-2/","title":"Contact Us, Village of Zeballos","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 6 of 7 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/zeballos/garbage-collection/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/zeballos/garbage-collection.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/zeballos/garbage-collection.json"}}
