Garbage & Recycling

Managing Waste, One Bin At A Time!

The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) provides waste collection, which services the Tofino community. The ACRD prescribes collection fees, times of service and allowable materials.

The District of Tofino does not collect payment or run this service; however, all Tofino residents must comply with the regulations stated in the Garbage & Recyclable Materials Collection and Regulation Bylaw No. 1070.

Unpaid garbage and recycling fees will be transferred to the associated property taxes if payment is not made to ACRD by December 31 of each year.

Be Bear Aware

The District of Tofino's Wildlife Attractant Bylaw aims to prevent garbage and other materials from becoming wildlife attractants.
