Dumpster Removal

Betty Selin, Astral Media Radio - Vernon

The Downtown Vernon Association has a plan to clean up the alleys in the city centre and follow the lead of other Okanagan cities. In a survey, the majority of downtown Vernon merchants want to see the alleys cleaned up. Executive Director, Earl Hansen says the first step is getting rid of dumpsters, which can act as cover for criminal activity. Hansen says they've written to the city asking the dumpsters be removed. Hansen says in other communities, like Penticton, frequent bag service has been successful and not expensive.
