Residential garbage pick-up is not provided by the municipality in Whistler, because open garbage causes significant problems for wildlife in our community. Residents can drop off garbage and recycling at two garbage, recycling, and composting depots:
The depots are managed by Carney's waste on behalf of the municipality.
Commercial garbage, construction debris, landscaping and wood waste, and large household items must be deposited at the Whistler Waste Transfer Station located on Callaghan Valley Road 15 kilometres south of Whistler.
Garbage and recycling must be stored indoors or in an approved wildlife resistant container or wildlife resistant storage area at all times.

The Resort Municipality of Whistler began operation of a municipal composting facility in November 2008. This facility composts biosolids from Whistler's wastewater treatment, residential and commercial organic waste, and wood waste.

The depots are managed by Carney's waste on behalf of the municipality. The following materials are accepted for residential drop-off:
