All Blue zone households will be collected this Saturday, October 25, and Saturdays will remain their regular collection day until further notice.

Earlier: An application by the City of Prince George for a common site picketing order has been approved by the Labour Relations Board (LRB).

This decision will allow for garbage collection to continue this week despite the ongoing strike by unionized workers at the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George.

About half of the blue zone was not collected on Monday due to the uncertainty surrounding the LRB decision with the City saying “it apologizes for this inconvenience.”

The City says updates will be provided as the situation continues to evolve.
