Comox Valley residents looking to get rid of extra yard waste will have the opportunity to do so for free again this fall.
The yard debris drop-off program is returning for the months of October and November this year, to allow residents to dispose of extra yard waste which may not fit in curbside containers.
Lt. Brent Craven of Comox Fire Rescue said the program can help create wildfire-resilient places.
“By removing dry leaves, twigs, and branches from your yard and gutters, you can help protect your home and community from wildfire damage.”
The facility will be open daily weather depending from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 1200 Knight Road in Comox.
Leaves, grass clippings, branches up to 3 inches in diameter and plants will be accepted either loose or in a paper yard waste bag.
Food waste, plastic bags, rocks, concrete, root balls, stumps, and invasive species will not be accepted.
