A waste collection company that services Vernon is providing a friendly reminder to ensure its drivers are safety able to collect trash and recycling during the winter.

WM Pacific Northwest issued a news release Wednesday, encouraging Vernon businesses and property managers to clear ice and snow around collection bins, which has been an issue.

“No one wants overflowing containers, especially during the winter,” WM Pacific Northwest BC Operations Director Matt Paden, told Vernon Matters. “Unfortunately, snow and ice can make it impossible for WM drivers to provide service.”
