The District of Invermere has joined communities across BC and Canada by expanding curbside waste collection to include organic waste.

Compostable material made up 30% of our waste and is now diverted to the new local composting facility instead of being transported to the regional landfill.

The curbside ‘green’ bin can accept yard waste and food scraps – and also pizza boxes, kitty litter, wooden cutlery and more!

You can also include food scraps that can’t usually be composted at home, such as dairy, baked goods, and meat.

Organic waste will be converted into Class B compost soil that will stay locally and be used for Regional District projects.

Clips must be unlatched when set out for collection, or the contents can not be emptied into the truck.
