The city of Merritt is reminding residents that regular commercial garbage collection will resume today (Feb. 2 ) after a residential garbage truck experienced a mechanical failure last week, causing the vehicle to become inoperable.
City crews worked quickly to modify the commercial truck, which allowed them to collect limited garbage on the residential routes on Friday, and the remainder of the collection was completed on Saturday.
The city of Merritt apologizes for the inconvenience to its residents and thanks city crews for their quick response.
