Spring just arrived this week but it's already time for the Corporation of Delta's annual Spring Clean-Up.
The program, which waives normal garbage volume limits to allow residents to drag almost whatever they want to the curb, comes to South Delta next week.
Collection will take place on regular garbage days: Monday, March 27 in Tsawwassen and Tuesday, March 28 in Ladner. There are, however, a few rules: Only residents that receive Delta's weekly garbage collection service are eligible to participate.
Material cannot be placed at curb any sooner than the weekend prior to the scheduled collection day.
The amount of accepted material cannot exceed a pickup truck load.
Items must be able to be handled by two people; oversized items are not accepted.
All items must be bagged or bundled - loose material will not be picked up.
Scrap metal items are recyclable and will be collected separately from garbage items. Metal items should be bundled separately from other items.
There are also a number of items that are not accepted as part of Spring Clean-Up, including mattresses, tires, construction materials, electronics and small appliances, paint and hazardous liquids, and more.
