SRD Waste Services

The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) provides solid waste services to residents living in the Sayward Valley (Electoral Area A) and on Cortes island (Electoral Area B).

Area A – Sayward Valley

  • Within the Sayward Valley, once a week roadside waste pick-up is available.
  • Sayward Solid Waste Clean-Up Days – Clean-Up Days in Sayward is an event that happens three times a year. Household waste items that are too large for regular waste collection can be discarded on the scheduled days.   Upcoming Clean-Up Days can be found on SRD’s events page > HERE.

Area B – Cortes Island

  • Within Cortes Island, weekly roadside pick up for both waste and recycling is available.

Area C – Quadra Island

  • Solid Waste collection is not a service provided by the SRD.  Residents must arrange pickup with private contractors (talk to your neighbours).  The SRD cannot recommend any particular contractor.

Area D – Oyster Bay/Buttle Lake

  • Curbside garbage, recycling and yard waste pick-up are not a service provided by the Strathcona Regional District.
    Rural area residents are responsible for setting up their own curbside pick-up through private providers, or taking their garbage and recyclables to a Comox Strathcona Waste Management facility.

November 23, 2021 – The CSWM regional organics compost project has broken ground paving the way for curbside organics collection of over 30,000 single-family homes in Campbell River, Comox, Cumberland and Courtenay.

The compost facility, located in Campbell River, is scheduled for completion in September 2022 and will accept co-mingled food and yard waste as part of municipal curbside collection programs. Community updates around the timing of this rollout will be made available later in 2022.
