Service Alert - Curbside Collection Update February 12

Low temperatures and icy road conditions continue to impact curbside collection. Every effort is being made to collect curbside materials as conditions allow. Safety for workers and our community is the top priority for the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) and our curbside contractor. Snow and ice pose a very high safety risk, with each collection vehicle making 800+ stops per day and needing up to five times the stopping distance in these conditions compared to a passenger vehicle on dry roads.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as we endeavour to catch up on missed collections and respond to your inquiries.
