Vernon residents will have leaves picked-up this month

Vernon residents should bring out the rakes and clear their properties this week.

The city’s leaf pick-up program will run from Nov. 18 to 22 and see bags of leaves picked up from Vernon properties during garbage collection days.

Leaves must be placed in clear, transparent bags in order ot be picked up. Anything placed in coloured or black bags will be considered household garbage and will not be collected.

Clear bags of leaves must also not weigh more that 23 kilograms (50 lbs.), and any weighing more than that will not be collected.
