As far as yard waste is concerned, this year is also a really weird year. Normally, the leaves would have been all gone by Nov. But because of the weird weather we've had this year, the leaves falling time frame has been all screwed up. I'm still getting a good bunch of leaves every week -- enough to easily fill up my bin. And then I have no room for food scraps.

Coquitlam is great, green waste is free to take to the transfer station as long as it is your own residential waste and you have a license that proves you live there. I probably took 8-10 loads with the box of my truck jammed full this spring/summer.
They also had a period in october where they would take as many bins or bags as you would put out of green waste, I have extra garbage cans, so I would put these out and they took it all.
North van was also pretty good, they would come weekly, and take as many bins of green as you would put out. But going to the waste transfer station to drop off green waste costed money.
