The RDN asked residents not to put out any extra waste that does not fit inside their recycling and garbage carts with lids fully closed.

The RDN said it will offer free drop off service at the Church Road Transfer Station in Parksville and the Regional Landfill because of the extended pickup delays.

The most recent service interruption was today (Dec. 30), affecting residents in Errington (Electoral Area F) and the Town of Qualicum Beach.

The decision was made in response to the latest provincial public health orders which resulted in New Year’s Eve events being cancelled.

Five mid-Island organizations will receive grant money to target the recycling of materials not currently part of a stewardship program or an established commercial market and would otherwise end up in the landfill.
