COVID-19 Collection Changes

• All garbage waste must be bagged and securely tied
• DO NOT include paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, face masks, gloves, and disposable sanitary wipes in your recycling or food waste containers - these should be placed in the garbage.
• If someone is sick in your household, double-bag and securely tie all personal waste.

Waste that does not adhere to the above guidelines will BE LEFT BEHIND, NO EXCEPTIONS

New Automated Collection
In October 2020 Qualicum Beach will transition to a new automated curbside collection service for all single-family dwelling units. Residents had the opportunity to chose the cart sizes that best suits their household’s disposal needs, If no selection was made the default size will be provided.
