Garden and wood waste goes to the Zeballos Landfill, 10 km from Zeballos on the Fair Harbour Forest Service Road. Accepted materials are set out 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), a scanned PDF whose text could not be read.\n\n## Steps\n1. Go to the landfill during open hours: Wednesday 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. or Saturday 12:00 to 3:00 p.m.\n2. The attendant records what you are disposing of and your contact information.\n3. You are invoiced after disposal. Payment is not accepted at the landfill; pay at the Village Office.\n\n## Good to know\n- Tipping fee for garden and wood waste: $12.85 for a half pickup load, $20.25 for a full pickup load, $30.35 for 3 yards.\n- Any sorting the attendant requires is charged at actual cost.\n- The Village's website does not say how to prepare yard waste or what is not accepted. Ask the Village Office at 250-761-4229.\n- An older COVID notice on the site showed Saturdays only; the waste page's table is the current schedule.","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/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/home/municipal-services/bylaws/","title":"Bylaws, Village of Zeballos","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 4 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 2 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/zeballos/yard-waste/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/zeballos/yard-waste.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/zeballos/yard-waste.json"}}
