The Esquimalt Public Works Department manages garbage collection in the Township of Esquimalt.
Starting in 2014, the Township of Esquimalt will be participating in the Regional Kitchen Scraps Strategy. At the same time, Township crews will be switching from backyard to curbside pickup using new trucks capable of collecting both garbage and kitchen scraps. Please visit our kitchen scraps page for more information on the program. Read our waste management brochure, what goes where brochure and our acceptable food waste fact sheet on sorting materials for composting and disposal.
