Garbage & Recycling

Garbage Collection 

The Village of Valemount provides a weekly curbside garbage collection service to all residents of the Village. Garbage collection containers are leased to residents for a nominal annual fee (see below). In order to ensure proper collection of household waste, please place all garbage in the collection container leased by the Village.

 The container should be placed curbside in plain view with the lid closed, and within 1 metre from the curb. Containters should be placed outside by 7:00am on the day of collection. Containers placed after 7:00 am on collection day may not be collected.  Annual garbage collection fees are payable by December 31st of the respective year. If payed before March 10, a 8% discount will be given on the annual fee.

Valemount Regional Transfer Station

The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George operates a waste transfer station north of Valemount, which accepts commercial and household waste, as well as recycling. Members of the public can drop off small loads of household waste free of charge. Commercial haulers are required to pay a tipping fee, which is determined by vehicle type and load volume. For tipping fees, hours of operation and accepted materials, please visit the RDFFG website.
