Curbside collection of garbage and recycling in the South Okanagan has been delayed because of overnight snow, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen said on Wednesday.
The regional district said due to heavy snow, there will be no curbside collection of garbage or recycling in Electoral Area ‘D’ (Okanagan Falls), Electoral Area ‘I’ (Kaleden), Penticton or Summerland.
“Today, residents should bring in all carts, bags or cans to allow for snow removal,” said the regional district.
