Garbage Collection and Removal is currently done by independent operator(s). Services are operated on a fee-per-bag basis with the fee being collected by the operators. Please contact the respective operators for information on their fee schedules and hours of business and collection / drop off days. Independant garbage collection & drop off site operators provide a fee per bag service, whereby bags of garbage may be collected or dropped off for a fee set by those operators. The responsibility for correct business licenses, WCB and ICBC coverage and appropriate land use permits, zoning and licenses rests solely with the operator(s), not the MIID.
