Nanaimo - Snow Clearing & Garbage Pick up

---

City crews continue to remove snow; main roads and emergency routes first priority

The City of Nanaimo has deployed all vehicles available for ploughing to remove snow from main roads and emergency routes.

Driving conditions in residential areas will remain poor throughout the day and likely tomorrow as crews focus efforts on clearing snow from main roads and emergency routes.  Once snow has been removed from main roads and emergency routes, crews will begin ploughing residential areas.

Commuters should expect winter driving conditions on main roads into this afternoon.

Garbage trucks are on pick-up service today and will make as many stops as possible, weather permitting.  Homes that do not receive pick-up today will have their garbage removed on their regular day next week. These households will not require tags next week to put out extra garbage or kitchen waste.
