Garbage collection in Vancouver will resume this week, following last week’s cancellations due to snow.
Residents are being asked to check their modified schedule online, as crews work to collect garbage from areas of the city that were missed due to heavy snowfall and redistribution of city services during last week’s snow storms.
These are the adjusted garbage collection dates for the week of Jan. 20 to 24:
• Monday, January 20 – Purple north, Red south, Purple south (missed areas)
• Tuesday, January 21 – Yellow north, Blue north, Yellow south (missed areas)
• Wednesday, January 22 – Red north, Green north
• Thursday, January 23 – Blue south
• Friday, January 24 – Green south
Residents whose garbage was not picked up last week are permitted to set out extra bags of garbage at no extra charge, up to a maximum of two additional bags.
Green bin collection, however, is still suspended and will resume on Jan. 27.
Residents can enter their address and find their garbage collection schedule online at the city of Vancouver’s website.
