Garbage Services
The Village of Telkwa provides Garbage pick up on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Here are some tips and tricks for making the Garbage pick up run smoothly…
- The owner or tenant are responsible for providing and maintaining, in good order and repair, a suitable garbage container sufficient to contain all garbage.
- Disposable garbage bags and refuse containers weighing individually less than forty (40) pounds shall be picked up by the Village; disposable garbage bags and refuse containers over the forty pound limit shall not be picked up by the Village.
- Disposable plastic bags designed for garbage may be used, however, the user is responsible for any cleanup required caused by bag failure, whether caused by material failure, animals or birds.
- No more than 5 disposable plastic bags per household per garbage pick up is permitted.
- Containers placed on property line for pick-up are to be placed on the property line adjoining the road allowance prior to 8:00 am.
- Do not overfill your container. Overfilled containers will not be emptied. Please ensure loose garbage is bagged and that the lid is closed. Any garbage that is not inside your container will not be collected.
