This year waste collection will be affected during the Christmas, New Year’s holiday period.
The Regional District is advising residents that garbage and recycling will not be collected on Christmas Day or on New Year’s Day. As a result, curbside pick-up moves ahead one day during the last week of December and the first week of January.
During these weeks only, residents who normally have collection on Tuesday should put their carts at the curb on Wednesday. Wednesday collection will be on Thursday, Thursday collection on Friday and Friday collection on Saturday, Dce. 30 and Saturday, Jan. 5.
The weekday collection schedule returns to normal on Monday, Jan. 7.
The Westside Residential Waste Disposal and Recycling Centre on Asquith Road in West Kelowna will not be affected by holiday closures and will be open as usual Friday to Monday, 7:30 am – 3:50 pm.
The Traders Cove Transfer Station just off Westside Road will be open Wednesday December 26th from 6:30 am – 10:30 am. The North Westside Road Transfer Station on the Whiteman Creek Forest Service Road will be closed Wednesday, December 26th
Remember to put all wrapping paper (except foil ), flattened boxes and cartons into your recycling cart for curbside pick- up, or take to your nearest recycling depot. Keep the recycling spirit going by saving all shiny and foil wrapping paper and cards, ribbons and bows for re-use.
