SAVONA, B.C. — The Thompson Nicola Regional District is offering a helping hand to Savona residents still cleaning up after the flash flood that hammered the village during the Canada Day long weekend.

Those affected by the flood are asked to sort debris into as many as six distinct piles:

Drywall and asbestos containing materials (keep separate, double bag in 6 mil bags)
Mattresses, metal, large appliances and furniture (stacked neatly)
Any spoiled food must be removed from fridges/freezers and double bagged
Wood and large building debris
Bagged refuse
No hazardous or liquid materials such as oil, gas or other chemicals will be accepted curbside
