With the snow flying in Vernon, waste management company WM is asking local businesses to help ensure garbage and recycling collection goes smoothly.
WM is asking business managers and owners, as well as property managers, to clear ice and snow from garbage and recycling containers so that crews can get to them.
“No one wants overflowing containers, especially during the winter,” said Matt Paden, WM Pacific Northwest B.C. operations director. “Unfortunately, snow and ice can make it impossible for WM drivers to provide service. To ensure regular collection, we are asking businesses and property managers to keep areas clear and safe.”

WM has 4.5 million residential customers and 170,000 industrial and commercial customers across nine provinces in Canada.
