Garbage Collection

Garbage Collection
The District of Kitimat offers curbside garbage collection every other week, alternating with recycling collection.
Collection Information
  • Garbage is collected biweekly
  • All bagged garbage must be in a bin
  • All waste must be tied in a garbage bag, not loose in your bin
  • A maximum of two garbage bins are accepted unless marked with a garbage tag, available for purchase from the Kitimat Municipal Office at $3 each.
  • The District recognizes medical conditions can cause more garbage in a home. Residents in properties that receive curbside collection may apply for a medical exemption to receive additional, free garbage tags for their curbside garbage. The form is under our Landfill and Waste Collection Forms on our applications page 
  • Bins must be at the curb by 8:00 a.m. on your collection day, and not set out the night before
  • Sharp objects (like broken glass) must be safely contained in your garbage bin. Consider putting sharp objects in a cardboard box, and then placing the box in your garbage bag.

 

Garbage Bins
  • Garbage bins must be plastic, with a removable lid
  • Bins cannot exceed 121 L and 50 lbs.
  • Garbage must be stored in a secure location until pickup day, like a locked garage or shed

They have the nose to find it, and the memories to come back for more. Help prevent bears and other wildlife from becoming a problem in your neighbourhood:

  • Put garbage out by 8:00 a.m. on your collection day, and not the night before
  • Clean your garbage bin regularly
  • Store your bins in a secure location, like a locked garage or shed
