Vehicle repairs cause two-week recycling collection delay in Telkwa

The Village of Telkwa will resume recycling collection on March 24 after missing two scheduled collection days.

The village said a part needed to complete repairs on its collection truck was received after its delivery was delayed.

Some tips the village recommended for residents include:

  • Breaking down cardboard and packaging to save space
  • Creating a designated spot for recycling
  • Consider taking recycling to the transfer station

“The village greatly appreciates residents’ patience while this matter was addressed,” the village added.

Recycling collection was missed on March 10 and 17.
