The Vernon spring chipping program begins tomorrow and continues throughout the month of April. The program is funded by residential yard recycling customers and is provided on the same day and location as regular garbage pickup. The schedule is:
City of Vernon & Foothills April 4 – April 7 / April 10 - April 13
Okanagan Landing & Blue Jay April 18 – April 21 / April 25 – April 28
Missed piles not reported to The City of Vernon within 24 hours after the second week will not be picked up. As the service provides only 10 minutes maximum chipping per customer each week, Vernon residents are reminded of the following:
- No chipping on April 14 (Good Friday)
- Same day/location as garbage pickup
- Do not pile with neighbour’s chipping
- Do not tie with wire
- No roots or dirt in pile
- Pile thorns separately
- No branches or tree trunks more than 4” in diameter
- Stack all prunings with butt ends facing street or lane.
