Collection Schedule

The City of Dawson Creek works with a local contractor to facilitate the residential garbage and recycling pick-up service.

Schedule

Garbage pick-up service happens weekly. Recycling pick-up service happens bi-weekly. Use the Dawson Creek City App or the Waste Wizard to view your schedule.

Pick-up schedules remain the same throughout the entire year, including on Stat Holidays, with the exception of two days: December 25 and January 1. When your pick-up day falls on one of these days, it will move forward by one day.

Missed pick-up

Report a missed pick-up by calling 311 and dialing #6. This will connect you directly with our provider and ensure your missed bin is reported quickly. If you have additional concerns or would like to reach out via email, please use our "Report a Concern" form at the button below.

Common reasons for missed pick-up:

• Snow delays
• Carts were not set out by 7:00 AM on collection day
• Carts were placed improperly at the curb
• Carts contained unacceptable items
