The RDCK and the Town of Creston have two events planned to help residents keep their property in good shape.
First is the Fall Yard and Garden Clean-up. Collections take place on October 16, 17 & 18, 2018 and its purpose is to dispose of tree prunings, garden waste, and other compostable articles from yards that are not picked up during regular collection. Guidelines for the pickup are as follows:
- No non-compostable items will be picked up.
- Branches and prunings should be cut into three (3) foot lengths and wrapped in bundles.
- Grass clippings, leaves, etc, MUST be placed in rigid, weatherproof containers; e.g. garbage cans. NO PLASTIC GARBAGE BAGS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
- On your regular garbage pick-up day, please keep all compostable materials separate from household garbage and place at the curb for pick-up.
- Questions may be directed to the Public Works Department at 250‑428‑2214, ext. 233
Second is the Trash to Treasure event on October 20th, where residents may collect unwanted household items and place them by the curb where treasure hunters can access them without disrupting traffic. Those participating are asked to remove unclaimed items by 4 pm the same day. For rules and help in your junk clearing endeavor check out the event poster below.
