The Town’s collection contractor, Waste Management, will be collecting lawn and garden waste (grass, leaves, flowers, shrub clippings, weeds and small branches) from the curbside of residential homes this fall on the following dates:        

  • For those residents who get their weekly garbage picked up on TUESDAYS, your lawn and garden waste pick-up day will be SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2020.
  • For those residents who get their weekly garbage picked up on WEDNESDAYS, your lawn and garden waste pick-up day will be SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2020.
  • For those residents who get their weekly garbage picked up on THURSDAYS, your lawn and garden waste pick-up day will be SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2020.
  • For those residents who get their weekly garbage picked up on FRIDAYS, your lawn and garden waste pick-up day will be SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2020.                                                             

All items are to be placed at the end of your driveway at the curbside by 7:00 a.m. on the day of your collection.  We will accept these items only:

  • GRASS, LEAVES, FLOWERS, SHRUB CLIPPINGS AND WEEDS: These are to be put into recyclable brown paper yard waste bags, RECYCLABLE BROWN PAPER YARD WASTE BAGS, and weigh no more than 35 pounds each. Please shake off any extra soil attached to flowers and weeds to reduce the weight. NOTE: Invasive and noxious weeds, such as Scotch Broom, English Ivy, and Himalayan Blackberry, are not allowed in this collection service. They are allowed in Hartland Landfill and can be included in your weekly garbage. 
  • BRANCHES: Branches are to be no longer than 3 feet in length, no more than 3 inches in diameter, and are to be bundled and then tied with string in bundles that weigh no more than 35 pounds each.

Each residence is allowed up to 5 of the above items in total. If you would like to put out more than this, you can purchase Extra Bag Decals for $3.00 each per bag or bundle which are available at the Town Hall. IF YOUR LAWN AND GARDEN WASTE DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE, IT WILL NOT BE PICKED UP. This service does not include composted food materials, and please note that this service applies only to those residences that are part of the Town’s Residential Garbage and Household Food Waste Collection Program. NOTE: Private strata roads cannot accommodate the size of the lawn and garden waste collection truck. Residents on these roads need to place their lawn and garden waste at the edge of the main road into the strata.

Residents of View Royal can drop off their lawn and garden waste free of charge with proof of residency at the Esquimalt/View Royal Yard & Garden Waste Transfer Station, 605 Canteen Road (formerly called Canteen Composting).  Click here for information and hours of operation.
