Manoeuvring garbage trucks down narrow streets and steep slopes on icy roads can be a daunting task, not only putting garbage collectors, but other road users, at risk. Even if roads appear clear, snow banks may prevent collection vehicles from pulling off to the side, creating hazards for motorists and pedestrians. Cancelled garbage collection service undoubtedly presents an inconvenience to residents, but it can become necessary to ensure everyone’s safety. If your garbage was left at the curbside due to road conditions, please check www. mission.ca or call the collection contractor at 604-820-6487 for updated collection information. Should collection be postponed until the following week, please bring your garbage, compost and recyclables back inside. Instead of the usual two, you will be allowed to set out two garbage bins and two
garbage bags (max. 80-L capacity and 20 kg weight each) on your regular collection day the following week. If your garbage, recyclables or compost were the only materials missed on your street, please verify that they were at the curb by 8 a.m., that they were visible and accessible, and that they met all weight and size specifications. WorkSafe BC Regulations stipulate that bags and containers must not exceed 20 kg in weight or 80 L in volume. Non-conforming materials should have received a sticker, explaining why they were left behind. If materials were left behind for no apparent reason, please phone the collection contractor directly at 604-8206487. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
