2021 and 2022 will see big changes to how most Kitimat
residents will manage their garbage.
The District is following through on their new Solid Waste Action Plan with a 3 phase approach in implementing improvements to the curbside collection program. Ultimately, the District hopes these improvements will see the amount of residential garbage landfilled drop by two-thirds.
Phase 1: May 2021, seasonal yard waste collection (May through early November), and garbage must be placed in garbage containers no greater than 121 L
Phase 2: November 2nd 2021, bi-weekly collection of Recycling and curbside bylaw amendments. Construction of Transfer Station at landfill for recyclables. The DOK will distribute recycling containers to Kitimat households October 25 – 29th, 2021.
Phase 3: Green bins delivered and food waste collection begins. If you did not get a green bin and a kitchen catcher (look inside green bin), please call us to let us know at (250)-632-8900. As of January 4th, 2022, weekly collection of food waste and bi-weekly collection of garbage (alternating with recycling) begins.
Spring/Summer 2022 construction of new landfill entrance with scalehouse.
