Recycling & Garbage
In British Columbia, regional districts are required under the Provincial Environmental Management Act to develop Solid Waste Management Plans. Solid Waste Management Plans provide a long term vision for how regional districts manage their solid waste, including waste reduction, diversion and disposal activities.
The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) is continuously working to reduce the amount of waste that our region produces, with a goal of one day achieving Zero Waste.
The SLRD's Solid Waste Management Plan was developed in 1996 and has been regularly updated since then to find new ways to reduce waste through the 5Rs – reduce, reuse, recycle, resource recovery and residual management. The plan authorizes existing and planned waste management facilities and directs regional waste reduction programming in order for the SLRD to continue to provide the services that our citizens need to become waste-free.

Residential Garbage Collection
Unsure what day is your garbage collection day? Please open the map viewer, zoom in to your property, find the ‘Layers’ button on the left hand side and turn on the ‘Garbage Collection’ layer. It is helpful to turn the Legend back on to be sure which day of the week is associated with the colour of your property on the map. You can also contact the District office at 250-256-4289 or info@lillooet.ca.
