Staff shortage delays yard waste collection in Campbell River

Yard waste pickup is running behind in Campbell River this week, but garbage and recycling collection is still running as usual.

Emterra, the local waste management service, has been working to catch up but is still trailing, the City notes. They say a staff shortage paired with an equipment breakdown on Monday is to blame. 

With this in mind, the City says households that would have yard waste collection today (Friday) can help by waiting until next week to take it to the curb. 

“We realize many people have yard waste to be picked up and thank community members for their patience. Emterra continues to make garbage and recycling collection a priority,” reads a City statement.

“We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to having this service running at full capacity again as soon as possible.”
