Saanich is rolling out its Greener Garbage collection routes beginning Friday.
The change means to a third of households in the District may experience a change in their collection day.
The change is being made to better rebalance trash truck payloads, increase collection capacity, and reduce emissions.
On Monday, a special pickup is scheduled for approximately 2800 homes which were facing an extended collection cycle without a pickup.
Affected residents will receive a letter alerting them to the changes.
It is important that residents have their garbage and organics cart out by 7 a.m. on collection day.
If carts aren't collected on the day specified in the Greener Garbage collection calendar or Greener Garbage app. Contact: greenergarbage@saanich.ca
