PRIVATE STRATA GARBAGE AREAS

• As a kind reminder, several stratas within our community operate their own private garbage facilities which are for exclusive use of residents in these stratas.  Unlike the majority of residences at Predator Ridge, these stratas do not receive weekly garbage and recycling pickups from the City of Vernon and pay to operate their own systems. Additional collection requirements directly cost residences in these stratas extra fees.

The residents within these stratas would like to remind and request that all Predator Ridge residents be good neighbours and avoid dumping garbage, furniture and other materials at these private facilities.  Additional measures are being added including locks on bins, signage and potentially installing security cameras.
