Notes from City Hall
Solid Waste Changes
City of Kimberley council adopted the ‘City of Kimberley Solid Waste and Regulations Bylaw No. 2520’ at the regular meeting of council held on September 28. The city asks that you please review the bylaw to educate yourself on the changes. These changes will be enforced beginning January 12, 2016.
Here are a few of the changes that were adopted:
– Garbage must be set out in cans only. Each household may put out a maximum of two garbage cans. For allowable garbage can specifications or for more details on our garbage collection program, please visit.
– No recyclable materials will be collected. All yard and garden waste, paper, cardboard, glass containers, etc. are to be taken to the 
at 800 Jim Ogilvie Way. City crews will not collect your garbage if there is recycling or yard waste mixed in with it. Yellow recycling bins are set out in key locations around the city for paper, cardboard, tin and aluminum cans and plastic milk jugs. The city asks that you lend a hand to any neighbours requiring assistance in getting their recycling to the appropriate bins or their yard waste to the landfill.
