The City of Vancouver has issued guidelines on how to dispose of garbage during the novel coronavirus crisis. The city, which declared a local state of emergency last week, says there are no changes to garbage and green bin collection, but asks residents to take extra precautions when throwing out certain items.
The following items should be disposed in securely-tied garbage bags, set out in a bin, and placed in its regular collection area.
Residents caring for someone who is sick need to double bag all personal waste in plastic garbage bags, securely tie all bags shut, and dispose of as regular residential garbage.
