Equipment problems are being blamed for a slow down in residential garbage pick-up in Swift Current.

The City says the contractor, Waste Management, ran into problems and it is delaying the regular trash pick-up schedule.  They add that WM crews will be working Canada Day and Saturday to catch up on homes they may have missed.

Residents are being asked to continue leaving their trash out for collection until it is picked up.  The regular schedule should resume next week.
