Spoiled Food Waste and Fridge/Freezer Collection for residents impacted by Komonko Creek wildfire
August 12, 2024
The RDCK will be offering free collection service for spoiled food and damaged refrigeration units for residents between Red Mountain Road South and 3 km north of the Village of Slocan in Electoral Area H. Pick up begins at 9:00 am on Tuesday, August 13.
For those residents who lost power for a significant period of time, they could be returning home to fridges and freezers full of spoiled food. Some homeowners may also find their fridges and freezers have stopped working, due to blown compressors as a result of power surges when power returns. Read this document for more information on how to remove food and prepare your fridge or freezer, as well as instruction on how to minimize wildlife attraction.
