Transfer stations and landfills saw ‘extremely high’ volumes over the weekend according to the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George.
The Regional District is reminding people to reduce or eliminate unnecessary trips.
If waste does not require immediate disposal, like food waste or animal attractants, people are asked to consider holding onto it for a time or make arrangements to take it to waste disposal facilities at non-peak times during the week.
“If there are recyclable items in your load, there may be other options for disposal. Appliances, metal, cardboard, and electronics do not have to be landfilled,” said spokesperson Renee McCloskey.
“Keeping our sites open and safe during COVID-19 is a challenge and we ask for your patience and cooperation. That means if you arrive at a transfer station and the bins are full, please do not dump your waste around the bins,” she added.
