Garbage & Recycling
Garbage and recycling services in Anmore are split between the Village of Anmore and Recycle BC.
The Village manages garbage and organic waste collection, funded by utility fees, while Recycle BC oversees residential recycling for packaging and paper. Both have contracted GFL Environmental for coordinated collection services on the same day.
A yearly collection calendar outlines that recycling and organics are picked up every Friday, and garbage every other Friday, starting at 7 a.m. (subject to holiday changes). Organics collection begins in northern neighborhoods like Crystal Creek and Countryside to avoid wildlife interference.
Each property can buy one 120L or 240L garbage cart and one 120L or 240L organics cart, with the costs of carts being:
- 120L costing $250.00
- 240L costing $265.00.
Properties with secondary suites can order two of each. To order, email your cart type and size to village.hall@anmore.com or visit the Community Hub. For more information, see our Solid Waste Management Bylaw.
