Although the South Island is not the snowiest region of B.C., garbage collectors are reminding businesses, property managers, and residents of Victoria to clear snow from and around their garbage and recycling containers to ensure the collection remains on schedule.
Snow accumulation can obstruct access for waste collection trucks, delaying pickup services. Therefore, residents of Greater Victoria are encouraged to shovel snow from the lids and surrounding areas of containers before their scheduled collection day.
Proper clearance ensures efficient waste removal during winter and helps maintain timely service despite challenging weather conditions.
