Blue Bin it and we’ll pick it up

The Village of Nakusp provides residential curbside recycling pickup of accepted products. Curbside pickup of accepted items is divided up into two (2) Zones for the community, with pick up taking place each week alternating between the zones.  The new Zone Map is attached here.  See the Curbside Pickup Schedule below for the pickup dates. 

As we transition into the new blue bins, we will continue to pick up clear bags until June 30, 2020.  As of July 1, 2020 we will NOT pick up clear bags.  

Simply put your accepted products in your blue bin(s), and place them at your curbside on collection day (see schedule below). Please ensure that the blue bins are out at the curb by 7 a.m. 

• No sorting or tags needed
• There is no limit to the number of clear or clear blue bin(s) residents can put at the curbside
• Please ensure only accepted products are put in your blue bin(s)
• Additional Blue bin(s) can be purchased locally at stores that sell recycling bins.
• Plastic “Overwaitea” bags and Styrofoam will be accepted but ONLY at the Recycling Depot (located at the Nakusp Landfill) – plastic “Overwaitea” bags can also be returned to Overwaitea
