The City of Penticton and Waste Connections of Canada are reminding residents to place their carts at the curb by 7 a.m. sharp on your scheduled collection day to ensure pickup.
When carts are set out late, it disrupts collection routes and causes challenges for teams working on strict schedules. Trucks cannot return once they’ve passed, meaning any waste placed out after this time will not be collected until your next scheduled pickup.
Waste Connections has seen a noticeable increase in carts being set out late, leading to missed collections and operational delays. Timely placement is essential to keep service efficient and reliable.
Your cooperation helps keep Penticton clean and ensures safe, dependable service for everyone. For questions or more details, contact Public Works at 250-490-2500, email solidwaste@penticton.ca or visit penticton.ca/garbage.
