With temperatures soaring, garbage pick up is taking place earlier in the morning across South Okanagan.
For all residences that use curbside pick-up for garbage across the RDOS, as well as the City of Penticton, District of Summerland, Town of Oliver, Town of Osoyoos and Village of Keremeos garbage will be picked up earlier than usual.
As hot as it is outside, temperature readings taken inside the cabs of the garbage collection trucks were as high as 52 C last week, according to the RDOS.
