Squamish Curbside Garbage
With bi-weekly curb-side garbage and recycling we are significantly reducing the Municipal Greenhouse Gas Emissions with respect to the delivery of the services on the trucking side, encouraging more participation in recycling thereby diverting waste, and overall any reduction in solid waste and any increase in recycling will improve the Municipal Green House Gas (GHG) emissions.
Garbage Totes
All municipal approved dwellings are eligible for bi-weekly pickup of garbage from the curb-side in the 65 Gallon Tote supplied by Carney’s. Please note that lost and damaged garbage totes are replaced at a cost to the homeowner of $180.
All totes/bins are now bear proofed so on collection day you must ensure that you undo the latches on the bear proof tote and attach them to each other. If the latches are not undone, your tote will not be serviced. See images below:

Garbage Odour Control
- Where possible store your garbage tote in a shed, garage or other enclosed structure
- Double bag smelly garbage.
- Freeze any organic material and dispose of it in your garbage tote on collection day
- Add ¼ cup baking soda and ¼ cup of borax to the garbage tote to absorb odours. You can also add a handful of moth balls or use a commercial odour-absorbing product that is usually available at your local hardware store.
- Carney’s Waste System does have an Organic Tote set up on Queensway (at the main office) where you can dispose of your organic waste.
Note!
- All garbage must fit into the totes provided and the lids must close completely; no extra material will be collected.
- Larger or extra carts are available for additional fees. Residents who wish to change the size of their totes, or who wish to have additional totes should call Carney’s Waste Systems.
