Don’t be surprised if you return home to find your recycling bin still full this week.
Temperatures are rising and this week’s extreme heat could result in delays for Greater Victoria recycling collection.
According to the Capital Regional District, the curbside recycling program is currently experiencing difficulties due to the extreme heat, which may result in delay in service for some residents until Friday, July 29th.
