In the fall, City crews are busy clearing the debris and leaves from the roads and catch basins. Unfortunately if our crews are unable to reach every one and drains are clogged, the water will flood the streets and in some instances may affect private property. Therefore we ask for the public’s assistance in checking catch basins outside their homes and clearing them of leaves and debris. This is especially important after snowfalls when the snow begins to melt. Please take a few moments to check and clear the catch basins near your home if our crews have not reached them yet. As we get closer to choosing a new Council,All Candidates Meetings are being hosted by various groups in the community. Pitt Meadows Community Association All Candidates Meeting Date: Monday, November 3, 2014 Location: Gymnasium at the Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre, 12027 Harris Rd.

Food will be banned from garbage throughout MetroVancouver starting in 2015. In Pitt Meadows, we have curbside pickup of green waste, so be sure your food waste goes in your green cart! When food and other organic materials end up in the garbage they: • End up buried under layers of waste in the landfill and can’t decompose properly,creating methane, a greenhouse gas that adds to global warming. • Use up a lot of precious landfill space. Over 30% of what we send to the landfill in our region is compostable organics. •Waste all the resources (energy, water, etc.) that went into producing the food.
