City officials in Halifax are asking people to remove any garbage bags or cans at their curbs because it is interfering with snow removal efforts.

Originally, the missed collection on Wednesday was rescheduled to today. However, on Thursday, the city cancelled all solid waste pickup for the rest of the week and the weekend.

The city says that people who did not have their waste picked up this week will have to wait until their next regularly scheduled collection day.

The pickup scheduled for Friday, April 3 will be pushed to the following day as April 3 is Good Friday.
