Central Okanagan residents can drop off their yard waste and prunings, up to 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter, and weighing less than 250 kg (550 lb) free-of-charge year round at local landfills! This includes grass, leaves, pine needles and cones, windfall fruit and garden plants. Yard waste and prunings weighing more than 250 kg will be charged $25/tonne, regardless of origin. Please note that the District of Peachland only accepts prunings up to 10 cm (4 inches) at its site(Peachland Information Only).
So any time you are working in your yard or mowing your lawn, bag or box your trimmings and drive them down to the local landfill. Landfill staff will help direct you to the large compost pile, where you can dump (debagging if necessary) your yard waste. Not only does this save your tax dollars, but all the materials are composted and used to enhance local parks.
Hey, you might even meet your neighbor there! As you will see, this is a very popular program; the yard waste pile is huge!
