Spring is the perfect time to start your spring yard clean up and the removal of any graffiti. Please help keep our community clean.

This is also a reminder that unlimited yard waste collection is provided between March 1 and November 30 each year. Inside the Town of Oliver, this service is available every second Thursday to all residential properties containing four or less residential units.

Please take advantage of this service that you are already paying for!

Residents are reminded that Property Maintenance Bylaw 1085 is in effect at all times during the year. This bylaw prohibits accumulation of garbage or other materials and the existence of unsightly conditions on any property in the Town of Oliver.

We thank you for your cooperation.

Town Chipping – Starts April 30

Municipal crews will be collecting branches ½” up to 4” diameter for chipping during the week of April 30 to May 4. Crews are limited to a maximum of 10 minutes of chipping per residence. Therefore residents will need to make their own arrangements to dispose of large volumes of chipping items.

Please ensure that all material is clean and free of any dirt or metals (i.e. nails or wire). Branches containing these materials will not be picked up.

Because plastic bags cannot be composted, it is preferred that materials be neatly bundled to allow for a larger volume to be chipped within the designated time limit. Please place bundles on the boulevard only as crews will not be entering private property.

Please have your material curbside by 7:00a.m. Monday, April 30th, 2012.

This information is supplied by the Town of Oliver in a bulletin to water consumers.
