Composting
Compost pickup is only available to single family dwellings. Once a month, Alpine Disposal will pick up three compostable yard and/or garden waste clear bags or cans with no lids at curbside. See Schedule Information and Map for your pickup days, or call Alpine at 250-474-5145 or the Sidney Town Hall at 250-656-1184. The fee for composting pickup is included in the garbage collection fees. If you require stickers for additional cans/bags, they can be obtained for $2.50 at the Town Hall or Thrifty Foods. PLEASE NOTE: the Capital Regional District (CRD) has banned yard and garden waste from the Hartland Landfill. We therefore ask that you please ensure that such material is not deposited in with the regular household garbage that is collected once a week. The Town’s garbage collection contractor is not required, or expected, to collect household garbage containing material prohibited from the Hartland Landfill.
